DUBAI: Saudi air defence forces on Monday intercepted a ballistic missile fired from Yemen, but the Saudi-led coalition said it would maintain a ceasefire despite what it sees as a violation of it by the Houthi militia, Saudi state news agency SPA reported.

The Iran-allied Houthis and Yemen’s Saudi-backed exiled government are trying to broker a peace agreement in talks in Kuwait and ease a humanitarian crisis in the Arabian Peninsula’s poorest country.
