A Saudi-led military coalition is blaming Iran for the launch of a ballistic missile by Yemeni Shi’ite rebels toward Riyadh, warning that it could be "considered as an act of war" and that it reserves its “right to respond.”

A statement issued early on November 6 said that "Iran's role and its direct command of its Houthi proxy in this matter constitutes a clear act of aggression that targets neighboring countries, and threatens peace and security in the region and globally.”
