2:14Now PlayingThousands took to the streets in Sanaa, Yemen to support the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group as tensions escalate with neighboring Saudi Arabia.
Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Saudi Arabia after accusing the kingdom of orchestrating airstrikes at its airport — with the terror group also raising suspicion around a key Red Sea trade route.
A Saudi coalition spokesman confirmed that the kingdom’s air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis following airstrikes at the Sanaa International Airport earlier on Monday.
The Houthis described the attack in Sanaa as an act of “blatant aggression” that threatened to rip apart the years-long truce it has with Yemen’s Saudi-backed, internationally recognized government.
