The United States strongly condemns yesterday's Houthi missile launch directed at Riyadh. These actions only exacerbate the conflict in Yemen and deepen mistrust, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said.

The US, she said, stands firmly with its Saudi partners in defending their borders against these continued threats.

We continue to urge all parties to work with UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths toward a political settlement and an end to the conflict in Yemen, Nauert said in a statement.
