Iran has accused Saudi-led coalition warplanes of damaging its embassy and injuring staff in an air strike on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.
State media quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying planes had deliberately targeted the site.
But some later reports in Iran said missiles had struck only in the vicinity of the embassy.
Residents and witnesses in Sanaa reported there was no damage to the main embassy building.
Although the incident may turn out to be less serious than initially feared, the BBC’s Arab Affairs Editor Sebastian Usher says the growing row between Saudi Arabia and Iran could derail peace efforts in Syria and Iraq, as well as in Yemen.
