Aden, Rabi'II 1, 1439, December 19, 2017, SPA -- The Republic of Yemen condemned strongly the Iranian-backed Houthi militia targeting the city of Riyadh with a ballistic missile today. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: This aggressive behavior of targeting Saudi Arabia with ballistic missiles reflects the extent of the danger that this extremist group has become and the level to which Iranian influence has reached it, which seeks to be used to harm regional and Arab security after helping them to cause massive destruction in all the Yemeni cities and towns that were invaded by the militias. The statement called on the international community, sponsoring countries and the Security Council to take strict measures against Houthi militia and consider them as a terrorist organization and hold accountable Iran and the forces supporting these bloody militias. -- SPA 21:50 LOCAL TIME 18:50 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w568622
