New Delhi, March 25 -- Air raid sirens sounded across Jerusalem on Monday evening as explosions were heard overhead, following the Israeli military's interception of a missile launched from Yemen.

"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory," a military statement said.

Yemen's Houthi rebels have fired a handful of long-range missiles at Israel in the days since Israeli forces resumed the war in Gaza.

However, the Houthis have not yet claimed responsibility for the latest attack.
