DUBAI - Saudi Arabia said it intercepted a Scud ballistic missile fired
from Yemen on Saturday, according to a statement on the Saudi state news
agency SPA, an attack which threatens a fragile ceasefire ahead of
renewed UN-backed peace talks next month.
"Saudi Air Defense Forces intercepted at about 11 P.M. (2000 GMT)
yesterday a Scud missile launched from Sanaa, in Yemeni territory,
towards the city of Najran ... the air force immediately destroyed the
rocket launch platform," the Saudi statement said.
Yemen's state news agency said the target was a Saudi national guard base.
The
attack is the latest of several ballistic missile strikes by Yemeni
forces on its northern neighbor, none of which have caused any reported
casualties.
