“It demands the anti-government forces in Yemen to desist from attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” the FO added.

Saudi Arabia had late Thursday night intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired from war-torn Yemen, state media reported. It was the second such attack in the month of November claimed by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

The missile targeted the southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, with authorities reporting no casualties.
