Ballistic missile intercepted in southern Saudi Arabia

The missile attack is the second since November 4 when a missile was intercepted near King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.

The Arab League said on November 19 that since the beginning of the conflict in Yemen 78 ballistic missiles had been fired toward Saudi Arabia from Yemen. — Al Arabiya English

Well here is the other side of the story I don't know if they are talking about the same missile or 2 different attacks.

Yemen rebel ballistic missile 'hits target' in Saudi: Huthi TV


Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels said Thursday they fired a ballistic missile at Saudi Arabia and hit a military target, in the second such attack this month, after threatening to retaliate over a crippling blockade.

"We confirm the success of our ballistic missile trial, which hit its military target inside Saudi Arabia," the Huthi-run Al-Masira television channel said.

A spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition fighting the Huthis in Yemen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Earlier, rebel chief Abdulmalik al-Huthi warned against "prolonging the blockade" imposed on Yemen following a November 4 Huthi missile attack that was intercepted near Riyadh international airport.

"Should the blockade continue, we know what (targets) would cause great pain and how to reach them," he said in a speech broadcast on Al-Masira television.

Yemen's war has claimed more than 8,600 lives since the Saudi-led coalition joined the government's war against the Huthi rebel alliance.

The country, long the poorest in the region, now faces the threat of famine as it struggles to get food and medicine through its ports.

Saudi Arabia and its allies tightened the longstanding blockade on Yemen's ports and the main international airport in Sanaa in the wake of the November 4 missile attack.

dem saudis need THAAD asap.

There is A/N FPS-132 Block 5 Early Warning Radar (EWR) available in Qatar which is better but I think Saudis and Qatari are not in good relations at the moment.

Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels

I hate how the media is trying to blame and show Iran as the aggressor and the Saudis and non-Houthi Yemenis as the victims. There is no evidence or proof that Iran supports the Houthis. In fact Iran has called for an immediate cease-fire and proposed a peace plan since the beginning of the conflict

American warships have intercepted five shipments of weaponry to the Houthis in Yemen from Iran in the past year and a half, according to US Vice Admiral Kevin Donegan, who is in charge of American naval operations in the Middle East.

The first intercepted shipment was in April 2015 and since then, American ships have intercepted an additional four shipments, Donegan said.

The shipments included thousands of AK-47 automatic rifles, as well as anti-tank missiles and sniper rifles.

The US Navy determined that the ships carrying the weapons came from Iran based on an examination of the GPS data on board the five vessels as well as from interrogations of their crews...​

Putting a picture of an Iranian missile is misleading.
