Unverified reports on Saturday evening indicated that a ballistic missile was launched from Yemen. The report followed earlier accounts of extensive missile movements by Houthi forces in Yemen and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, with some sources raising the possibility of a preparation for a surprise attack on Saudi Arabia. The Houthi movement, an Iranian-backed group, has repeatedly launched ballistic missiles and drones at targets in Israel and Saudi Arabia over the past year. As The Zioneer has reported, the Houthis claimed a missile strike on Israel and a Saudi airbase in June, and US air defenses have intercepted Iranian missiles in the region. The latest launch, if confirmed, would add to the heightened regional tensions, which have seen direct confrontations between Iran and the US, and between Iran and Israel. The target of the missile and its fate are not yet known.
