The Riyadh-led military coalition fighting the rebels in Yemen said in a statement that Saudi air defences intercepted the missile at around 0500 GMT, but reported no casualties.
Shortly before the announcement of the interception, Al Masirah television, controlled by the Houthis, said a missile had been launched against Saudi Arabia. U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley showed off missile parts to cameras at a military base near Washington, saying the projectile was supplied by Iran and launched by Yemen's Houthis at the airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Saudi authorities, for their part, claim to have intercepted the missile.

Al-Maliki added that this hostile action by the Iranian-backed Houthi militias proves the continued involvement of the Iranian regime in supporting the militias with qualitative capabilities, in clear and explicit defiance of United Nations resolutions 2216 and 2231, with the aim of threatening the security of Saudi Arabia and regional and worldwide security, as firing ballistic missiles at densely populated cities and villages is contrary to global humanitarian law.
In exclusive remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, al-Mekhlafi said: "There would be no return to negotiations with the Houthis unless they stop committing crimes against politicians and civilians, they release all detainees with no exceptions, stop launching rockets and attacks against cities, and commit to the three dialogue references, in addition to allowing the delivery of aid to the citizens".
The Saudi-led coalition joined the Yemeni government in its fight against the Houthis in March 2015, after the rebels seized control of the capital Sanaa.
