From AL-Jazeera:
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for an explosion in Riyadh, saying they fired a long-range ballistic missile that travelled more than 500km over the border with Saudi Arabia.
By all means, let’s let the ragheads have nukes.
Sorry, this may or may not be worthy of “breaking” after all.
WHAT! WHAT! PING

A ballistic missile has been intercepted northeast of the Saudi capital Riyadh, the country’s state media is reporting.
Thanks.
Oh, boy.
Whoa!
Brings to mind something I’ve heard through the rumor mill, which is that at the darkest, deepest levels of diplomacy, the Saudi royal family is in communication with Israel, and the subject they talk about mostly is Iran.
Tough neighborhood.
Probably too early for these to be shipped & operational.

“The US State Department on Friday approved a sale of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile-defense systems to Saudi Arabia, according to a press release from Defense Security Cooperation Agency.”
Saudi Royal family in cahoots with Israel? Like Mr. Clinton getting it on with Madeline Albright.
when DJT is away... they don’t realize the Hawk is always flying...
“Volcano H-2 was first revealed to the international community when it was launched at Saudi Arabia on July 22, 2017, which successfully hit the region of Yanbu and caused a major fire at Aramco oil refineries.”
So, Not the first time in use against SA.

Saudi forces have reported shooting down Houthi missiles before.
State news channel Al-Ekhbariya said the missile was “of limited size” and no damage was caused.
Scuds can reach that far? Or was it really a Scud missile?
Wow, the business relationship Iran has with North Korea is really paying off.
Now, if the North Koreans can just get the nukes down to a size that may be fitted as a warhead....
Of course, these militant types tend to exaggerate their capabilities just a tad. But reality may be catching up with the hype.
I hope they let us look at the debris. I’m guessing they probably will.
I would think it is. Isn’t Iran backing those rebels?
