CBS: Iran-backed Houthis launch new attacks on Saudi Arabia while "exchanging ideas" with U.S.

Saudi Arabia said on Friday that its air defense systems had intercepted a ballistic missile over the southern city of Najran.

It was the latest in a series of escalating attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, who have consistently targeted Saudi infrastructure in retaliation for the Saudi-led war against their insurgency in neighboring Yemen.
