Despite the Saudi announcement, a top leader of Yemen's Shiite rebels on Monday vowed retaliation against the oil-rich kingdom over its disastrous blockade of his war-torn country.

Saudi Arabia announced it shut down all ports after a Houthi ballistic missile attack near Riyadh's international airport. The missile was intercepted but Saudi Arabia and the United States both accused Iran of supplying the missile, saying it bore "Iranian markings." ———Associated Press writers Maggie Michael in Cairo and Jon Gambrell in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, contributed to this report.
