Israel’s military has said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen as hostilities with the Houthis intensified, amid US President Donald Trump’s threats to punish Iran over its alleged support for the Yemeni group, Reuters reports.

Sirens sounded across several areas in Israel after the projectile was fired, the military said. The Israeli police said sirens were heard in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

“A missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF prior to crossing into Israeli territory. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol,” the Israeli military said in a statement, referring to its air force. Israel’s ambulance service said no serious injuries were reported.
