沙特阿拉伯说,星期一晚间拦截了一枚发自也门境内的弹道导弹。

沙特国家媒体说,这枚导弹在空中被摧毁,没有造成任何伤亡。这是沙特本月第2次拦截从也门境内发射的导弹。

以沙特为首的联盟支持也门总统哈迪。该联盟表示,这次袭击可能迫使该联盟重新考虑停火问题。

也门胡塞反政府武装自2014年9月攻占首都萨那以来,一直控制着那座城市。在此6个月后,胡塞武装又向南部发动进攻,夺取了港口城市亚丁,哈迪总统被迫逃往沙特。

在以沙特为首的联盟空袭的支持下,哈迪及其政府重返亚丁。也门冲突已造成6400多人死亡,数百万人急需人道救援。

Saudi Arabia says it has intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen on Monday night.

The missile was destroyed in mid-air without causing any casualties, according to the Saudi state news agency SPA. This is the second missile Saudi Arabia has intercepted from Yemen just this month.

The Saudi-led coalition, which supports Yemeni president Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, has said that this attack may force them to reconsider a cease-fire.

Yemen's Houthi rebels have controlled the capital, Sana'a, since seizing it in September 2014. Six months later, they marched south in an offensive that led to their capture of the port city of Aden, and sent President Hadi fleeing to Saudi Arabia.

Hadi and his government have since returned to Aden, aided by a yearlong bombing campaign by a Saudi-led coalition that helped push back the Houthis. The conflict has left more than 6,400 people dead and millions of people in need of humanitarian aid.
