Yemen's Houthis claim ballistic missile attack on Saudi capital air base

SANAA, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi movement on Saturday claimed firing a long-range ballistic missile on Saudi King Salman air base in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, according to a statement released by Yemeni state Saba news agency.


The statement, cited a Houthi military official, said the missile attack hit the target accurately.

It said the attack came in retaliation for Saudi continuing aggression criminal war against the Yemeni people since two years ago.

This is the second time Houthis claiming responsibility for firing ballistic missile on military target inside the Saudi capital of Riyadh in nearly a month, which is about 1,065 km north of Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital Sanaa.

Houthis have been repeatedly firing ballistic missiles deep inside Saudi southern border cities since Saudi Arabia intervened militarily against Houthis in support of Yemeni exiled government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia led a mostly Arab military coalition to fight the dominant Houthi rebels, who seized most of northern Yemen including the capital Sanaa.

The coalition announced its goal to restore power to the expelled but internationally recognized government of President Hadi.

Houthis ousted Hadi and seized control of northern Yemen in September 2014.

The ground war and coalition airstrikes have killed more than 10,000 people, half of them civilians, and displaced over two millions, according to humanitarian agencies.

We can al thank Iran for providing Houthi with Ballistic missiles. If Iran really wants to fight for their Shia comrades the Houthi, why not send the Iranian army and fight like real men same as the saudis are fighting? Why hide behind a rag tag rebel group and arm them with weapons which can jeopardize regional security?

Proxy wars have been the staple of many foreign powers' involvement in establishing regional dominance for many, many years. The Middle East is no exception to this practice.

Paistan has proves of iranian involvement. We provided them to coalition forces the very first day. Many iranian old ships used for carrying weapons have been destroyed.

Yemen has missiles before Iran and they are all soviet made. Any way the point here to discuss is the ABM system of of USA.

Yemen has an army which was armed with ballistic and anti ship missiles before war .. there is no need for Iran to give them to Houthis ....

iran nver armed anyone in the world. Iran donot want to weaken arabs to expand it's influence either. Iran is a good boy which will soon be slapped but iran hink it is also a holy boym which will prove to be wrong too.
Yemen had army which was defeated by rebels and private army of saleh. Private armies and rebels donot possess missiles.

Fake news. Nowhere on arab & international media

 

[BHarwana]

This is international media. Chinese news site. But the question is why are anti ballistic missile system not able to intercept the missile. this was Borkan-2 missile and again it was not intercepted.

A better question is how come this forum allows propaganda/nonsense threads like this to be a waste of time and users with your intellect.

There has not been a single successful ballistic attack against KSA. All the ballistic missiles have been shot down over empty mountains or desert.

Houthi/Saleh propaganda is excellent comedy. Even their propaganda videos are a huge failure as anything they do is except for chewing qat and ruining Yemen.

This is Chinese site saying that means that missile interceptors are missing missile so the question is still is the American system not good? Because this American system works well in Israel but not in Saudia. I would be better for Saudia to purchase S-400 Russian system.
