United Nations, Dhu-AlHijjah 14, 1437, Sep 15, 2016, SPA -- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has lodged a complaint to the United Nations Security Council on the violations committed by Iran of the UN Security Council's resolution No. 2216 on Yemen, demanding the world community to take the necessary measures to let Iran desist from and stop any illegal action in Yemen and confirming at the same time the Kingdom's right to take the appropriate action to confront the threats posed by the pro-Iran Houthi militias and deposed president Ali Saleh. The report was submitted to the council by Saudi Arabia's permanent representative to the United Nations Abdullah bin Yahya Al-Maalami last night. According to the message, the Kingdom said that it was subject to abrupt attacks launched by the Houthi rebels and their supporters loyal to deposed president Saleh, including launching of ballistic missiles across the border from Yemen which resulted in the killing of hundreds of civilians, and damage of the civil infrastructure, including schools and hospitals in the Saudi southern cities of Najran, Jazan and Assir region. The report said the total number of missiles that hit the Kingdom's territories in the last period amounted to nearly 30 ballistic missiles. Al-Maalami said at least one ballistic missile named Zilzal 3, made in Iran, was launched into Najran on 31 August 2016. --More 14:07 LOCAL TIME 11:07 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
