Gulf News: Two ballistic missiles fired at Saudi Arabia from Yemen

Government forces capture second militia-held town in 24 hours.

Riyadh, Aden: Two ballistic missiles were fired from Yemen at Saudi Arabia, one of which was intercepted by the kingdom’s air defences, the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemeni rebels said Friday.

The other missile struck an area of desert east of the Saudi city of Najran, the coalition said in a statement carried by the kingdom’s SPA state news agency, without reporting any casualties.

“The leadership of the coalition asserts that while it is committed to the success of the negotiations in Geneva ... it will not abide by the ceasefire for long in the shadow of this threat to the kingdom’s territory,” SPA said.

WNU Editor: With the end of peace talks in Switzerland today .... Yemen Peace Talks Have Been Suspended .... this war is going to escalate.
