RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Friday intercepted a ballistic missile fired from Yemen into the kingdom´s south, as Riyadh and its allies said the attack ?proved? Iran´s support for Yemen´s Huthi rebels. The Riyadh-led military coalition fighting the rebels in Yemen in a statement said Saudi air defences intercepted the missile at around 0500 GMT, but reported no casualties. The Saudi-led coalition said a ballistic missile intercepted over southern Saudi Arabia on Friday served as proof Iran supported the Shiite Huthi rebels. ?This hostile act by the Iran-backed Huthis proves the Iranian regime remains implicated in supporting the armed Huthis,? the kingdom´s state news agency SPA quoted coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki as saying.
