# Qatar’s Foreign Affairs Ministry has condemned Yemen’s Houthis for launching ballistic missiles toward the cities of Taif and Yanbu in Saudi Arabia. Saudi air defences intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by the Iran-allied group. Last week, it intercepted a drone launched by the Houthis towards Mecca. Qatar says it considers these aggressions a reprehensible hostile act and an unacceptable disregard for civilian lives, as well as a blatant violation of Saudi sovereignty. It has affirmed the necessity of an immediate cessation.
