IDF says ballistic missile from Yemen was successfully downed by air defenses

A ballistic missile launched at Israel from Yemen was successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses, the military says.
According to the IDF, the missile was shot down before crossing into Israel, and sirens sounded across central Israel due to fears of falling fragments following the interception.
The attack was likely carried out by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. In the past month, the Houthis have fired 11 ballistic missiles and at least nine drones at Israel.
