A ballistic missile launched at Israel from Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses, the military says.

The IDF says the missile was shot down before crossing the country’s borders.

Sirens sounded across central Israel over fears of falling shrapnel following the interception, the military adds.

Earlier this morning, a drone launched from Yemen was shot down by an Israeli Navy missile boat over the Mediterranean Sea.
