the Iranian missile was successfully intercepted in south of Riyadh ... as far as I know, there's nothing called a Royal meeting in Saudi Arabia ... the official meeting with all ministers takes place on every Monday, not Thuresday!

The Saudi-led coalition has reportedly shot down a ballistic missile targeting a meeting of royal leaders at the Al-Yamama Palace in Riyadh. Houthi rebels in Yemen launched the attack, reports Reuters, citing local media.
There are no reports of injuries, according to the Saudi government’s media Twitter account. State TV reported no damage to buildings or infrastructure. A Houthi rebel spokesman on Twitter confirmed the missile launch Tuesday.

A plume of smoke was seen rising above the capital and eyewitnesses reported a loud boom that shook windows.

According to Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdussalam, the rebels allegedly fired a Volcano H-2 ballistic missile towards the al-Yamama royal palace.

Yemen's former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was killed by the Houthi rebels earlier this month after allegedly switching sides to stand against his former allies. Since then, the Saudi-led coalition has intensified its aerial bombardment of Yemen, with the UN Human Rights office confirming the verified killing of at least 136 Yemeni civilians and non-combatants between December 6 and 16.

The Al-Yamama Palace is the official residence and office of Saudi King Salman and is located in the western suburbs of the capital. It is also the headquarters of the Royal Court. US President Donald Trump stayed at the residence during his visit in May.


The Burkan missile has an estimated range of 800km (500 miles) and is similar to the Scud missile used by the Iraqi military.

seems like the fight got brought to saudi mainland.

This is what you get for having young dumb leader. Didn't he talk about bringing the fight to Iran? Lol

In coming days as far as Saudis are not able to show the debris of the missile by themselves and need uncle Sam to do it for them probably Nikki Hill would show the missile debris and say:

"This missile was used to attack an civilian palace in Saudi Arabia. Just imagine if this missile had been launched at Dulles palace or JFK, or the palaces in Paris, London, or Berlin."​

Surely Obama is celebrating the legacy of his "magnificent" Iranian deal.
