Iran dismissed as “irresponsible and provocative” accusations from regional arch-rival Saudi Arabia on Monday that it was responsible a weekend missile attack on Riyadh launched from war-ravaged Yemen.

An Iranian foreign ministry statement quoted its spokesman Bahram Ghassemi as saying the accusations by the Saudi-led coalition were “unjust, irresponsible, destructive and provocative”.

Yemen has been since March 26, 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition.

Hundreds of thousands have been martyred or injured in the aggression, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
