According to emerging reports from Yemen, a surface-to-surface missile fired by the Yemeni Army has hit the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The missile was launched on Sunday evening, and sources in Yemen have described the missile test as successful. It is unclear exactly what missile was used, and casualty figures, if any, are yet to be reported.
Saudi Arabia intervened military in the Yemeni Conflict in 2015, leading a coalition of almost 10 Middle Eastern countries. In October 2016, a Yemeni activist warned that Riyadh was the next target for a Yemeni missile attack.
Update: More information has emerged, suggesting that the missile was a variant of a Russian Scud missile, known as the “Borkan” surface-to-surface missile.

Pretty good shot, it looks like about 500 miles from the Yemen border to Riyadh.
Watch Raytheon stock.
Want me to teach the ululation class this go-around? You get the guac and chips.
I'm down with muzzies targeting Mecca.
A missile from Paul Ryan’s friends Iran ?If true, the toothpaste is definitely out of the tube now.
^_^
Get ready to enjoy the biggest Muzzie chimp-out in history if Mecca gets hit/destroyed.
PMs should continue to rise on instability.
Yemen is acting as a proxy for Iran, so this escalates the chance of war with Iran, with Saudi Arabia accommodating a US and Israeli attack on Iran.
We also need med teams to guard against shoulder injuries:
Risk of excessive hi-fiving.

I did not know anything about the source, so I thought it might be fake. It IS from Syria after all.
I’m here til Thursday, try the Ham steak, and don’t forget to acid-splash your serving girl!
Hugh and series !
One of Barky’s Gitmo releasees get a happy trigger finger?
Boarding a plane to a town here, soon?
Wake up, idiot leftists. (Impossible, I know.)
The Saudis paid US defense contractor Raytheon to build a terrorist-proof wall all the way around Yemen. Multiple layers of barbed wire, ditches and ramparts that stop drive-through attempts, etc.
Any geopolitical downsides notwithstanding, it's hard not to applaud some intramural arab missle lobbing ;-)
This would show up on a weather SAT shot. If true, the globalists are trying not to let a crisis go to waste and Robart reverses that ruling within hours.
If it happened...it’s suicide.
Just another isolated incident, nothing to see here, folks, keep moving.
One kind of Muslim is taking a swipe at another kind of Muslim. This is a ripening situation between the Shi’ite and the Sunni sects, a proxy war that is about to get out of hand.
The next one lands in Tehran. Then the fit hits the shan.
If the story appears on CNN, it can be confirmed as fake.
