Yemen's Houthis say fired ballistic missile towards Saudi capital

Yemen's armed Houthi movement said on Friday it had fired a ballistic missile towards the Saudi capital Riyadh, just ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia, but the claim could not immediately be confirmed.


The Iran-allied Houthis launched a Burkan-1 missile, a statement by their official news agency said. It said the missile was aimed at Riyadh but gave no further detail.
