Saudis accuse Iran of 'direct aggression' over Yemen missile


Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed receptacle Salman has blamed Iran for a demonstration of "coordinate military hostility" by providing rockets to rebels in Yemen.

This "might be viewed as a demonstration of war", state media cited the ruler as disclosing to UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson in a phone discussion.

On Saturday, a ballistic rocket was blocked close to the Saudi capital.

Iran denies equipping the Houthi development, which has battled a Saudi-drove coalition backing Yemen's legislature since 2015.

Remote Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the ruler's claim was "hazardous".

Houthi-adjusted media announced that the renegades had let go a Burkan H2 ballistic rocket at King Khaled International Airport, which is 850km (530 miles) from the Yemeni outskirt and 11km north-east of Riyadh. Saudi rocket protections blocked the rocket in flight, yet a few parts fell inside the air terminal territory.

Human Rights Watch said the dispatch of an unpredictable rocket at a dominatingly non military personnel air terminal was an obvious atrocity.

 The official Saudi Press Agency provided details regarding Tuesday that in his phone call with Prince Mohammed, Mr Johnson had "communicated his judgment of propelling a ballistic rocket by Houthi upset volunteer armies".

"As far as it matters for him, the crown sovereign focused on that the inclusion of the Iranian administration in providing its Houthi state armies with rockets is viewed as an immediate military animosity by the Iranian administration and might be viewed as a demonstration of war against the kingdom," it included.

Mr Zarif denounced Saudi Arabia's "provocative activities" in a phone call with Mr Johnson later on Tuesday, remote service representative Bahram Qassemi said.

"He rejected false and perilous cases made by Saudi authorities, and said they are against worldwide law and the UN Charter," Mr Qassemi included.

A man and a child have been killed after a light aircraft made an emergency landing on a beach in Portugal. Authorities said the incident took place on Sao Joao beach in Caparica, south-west of Lisbon. The National Maritime Authority said a middle-aged man and a young girl died after they were unable to avoid the plane. The plane's only two occupants were unharmed, it added. The Diario de Noticias newspaper quoted an eyewitness who said the plane had been flying at a low altitude over the beach, although he did not realise anything was wrong until other beachgoers began running. One young witness told Reuters news agency: "I was near the water when I saw the plane. I called my parents, the plane fell on the sand and ran over two people, fatally hurting them and another was injured, I think, but I'm not sure, people were running away. "The plane is still there, but the ambulances arrived quickly. I think maybe the fuel ran out because I find it weird that

Plane toilet arsonist on Sharm el-Sheikh flight has sentence doubled

A man who started a fire in a plane toilet has had a jail sentence doubled. John Cox was initially jailed for four years and six months after admitting committing arson during the flight from Birmingham to Sharm el-Sheikh in 2015. But the Court of Appeal agreed with the Attorney General the sentence was unduly lenient and increased it to nine years and six months. The captain on the Monarch Airbus plane issued a mayday call and was set to carry out an emergency landing. Cox, 46, of Coates Road, Kidderminster, had been drinking before and during the flight and smoked a cigarette in the toilet. The plane carrying more than 200 people was 33,000ft (10,668m) in the air and 100 miles (160km) from the Egyptian coast when the captain was told the crew were having difficulty putting out the blaze in a waste paper bin. A passenger who worked for a fire and rescue service helped the crew deal with the blaze so the plane could complete its journey safely. 'Recklessness' T
