A long-range missile fired from Yemen has landed in an open area in central Israel, the military has said.

The attack early on Sunday triggered air raid sirens, including at Ben Gurion International Airport, where local media aired footage of people racing to shelters. There were no reports of casualties or damage, and the airport authority said operations resumed as normal shortly afterwards.
