Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels on Sunday claimed missile and drone strikes that targeted neighbouring Saudi Arabia overnight and threatened more attacks, as fighting in the grinding civil war escalates.

Years of war have already pushed Yemen to the brink of famine. Saudi Arabia — which has been backing the Yemeni government against the rebels since 2015 — said Saturday it thwarted a Huthi missile that targeted Riyadh. “The operation was carried out with a ballistic missile and 15 drones... targeting sensitive areas in the enemy’s capital of Riyadh,” said Huthi spokesman Yahya al-Saree, according to the rebels’ Al Masirah TV channel. “Our operations will continue and will expand as long as the aggression and siege on our ... » Learn More about Yemen rebels claim Saudi strikes, threaten new attacks

June 14, 2005 16:50 U.S. astronomers say they have discovered what might be the most Earth-like, rocky planet ever detected outside our solar system. But it appears to be too hot to be habitable. Since 1995, planet hunters have found 155 celestial bodies in orbit around other stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. They have been getting much better at finding ever-smaller ones as telescope technology and search methods have improved. The first to be found were gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. Last year, smaller, Neptune size planets first appeared to astronomers. Now, the most productive of all the searchers, Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California at Berkeley and Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, report finding their 107th planet and the most similar yet in mass and possibly rocky composition to Earth. "This is truly an extraordinary announcement," Mr. Marcy says. Geoff Marcy speaks at a Washington news briefing.
