Saudi warns of reprisals against rebels

The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen threatened severe reprisals late on Monday against rebels in the neighboring country, after they fired a fourth ballistic missile in as many days toward Saudi territory.

Official media said Saudi Arabia intercepted a rocket fired toward the border city of Jazan on Monday and then destroyed the missile launcher in Yemen. The kingdom has deployed Patriot missile batteries designed to counter tactical ballistic missiles.

Air defenses shot down another missile fired toward Jazan on Monday morning.
