SAUDI ARABIA blamed Iran yesterday for Saturday’s Yemeni missile attack on Riyadh — calling it an “act of war.”

The Saudi-led invasion coalition closed all land, sea and air routes into its southern neighbour yesterday in response to the launch of a Yemen-made Volcano H-2 missile.

Saudi Arabia claimed it shot down the missile with US-supplied Patriot missiles, but the de-facto Houthi-backed government in Yemen’s capital Sanaa said it hit Riyadh airport.
