Saudi Arabia intercepted a ballistic missile that Yemeni rebels fired towards the Kingdom's southern city of Abha early Monday, the Riyadh-led coalition fighting the insurgents said.
"It was intercepted with no injuries," the coalition said in a statement, adding that the missile launcher was destroyed by Saudi air defences.
It was at least the fourth ballistic missile launched across the border since UN-brokered peace talks began in Kuwait in April between Yemen's Houthi rebels and the government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
