Ballistic missile fired at Israel from Yemen lands in Saudi Arabia

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

A ballistic missile launched from Yemen a short while ago, apparently aimed at Israel, fell short in Saudi Arabia, according to a defense source.

The missile was identified by the military, but sirens were not activated due to it not posing a threat to Israel.

It is not immediately clear why the missile failed to reach Israel.
