Yemen Houthi Rebels Launch Missile And Drone Attack Against Saudi Arabian Cities





Bloomberg: Saudi Arabian Cities Come Under Attack From Yemeni Rebels

Saudi Arabia came under a missile and drone attack from Iran-backed Yemen rebels that targeted the capital and other cities, as international efforts to end their five-year war have floundered.

Saudi air defenses intercepted at least four ballistic missiles launched by Houthi rebels at Riyadh, Najran and Jazan, and also destroyed eight explosives-laden drones, state-run Saudi Press Agency reported early on Tuesday.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the attacks targeted the Defense Ministry, a military base and intelligence and other locations in the three cities. The rebels also vowed to carry out more powerful strikes, according to their Al Masirah news channel. A Saudi-led coalition has been fighting the Houthis since 2015 to restore the government of Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, and the rebels have attacked the kingdom with missiles and drones multiple times.
