King Khalid International Airport has been targeted multiple times in the week since a Saudi-led coalition launched a major military offensive against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the earlier attacks, including one Wednesday that killed a Sudanese national.

The Saudi’s are great at paying others to do their killing...not so great at defending themselves...
They build really good missiles, too.
Stop pimping your blog on here
We sell them some of our best stuff and unlike Israel they can’t do squat with it and run like cowards when confronted.
And they are supported by Russia and Iran and when they have oil to smuggle, by China…
