沙特攔截來自也門的導彈

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.沙特阿拉伯說，星期一晚間攔截了一枚發自也門境內的彈道導彈。

沙特國家媒體說，這枚導彈在空中被摧毀，沒有造成任何傷亡。這是沙特本月第2次攔截從也門境內發射的導彈。

以沙特爲首的聯盟支持也門總統哈迪。該聯盟表示，這次襲擊可能迫使該聯盟重新考慮停火問題。

也門胡塞反政府武裝自2014年9月攻佔首都薩那以來，一直控制着那座城市。在此6個月後，胡塞武裝又向南部發動進攻，奪取了港口城市亞丁，哈迪總統被迫逃往沙特。

在以沙特爲首的聯盟空襲的支持下，哈迪及其政府重返亞丁。也門衝突已造成6400多人死亡，數百萬人急需人道救援。
