Saudi-led coalition intercepts drone over oil-rich Eastern Province
|
[Jpost] The coalition said its air defenses destroyed a drone over the Eastern Province and intercepted missiles launched at the Saudi capital and the southern region.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
said on Tuesday that it intercepted and destroyed a drone over Saudi Arabia
 ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...

Earlier on Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed two missiles launched by Yemen's Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

The coalition said its air defenses destroyed a ballistic missile and a cruise missile fired at the Saudi capital.
Saudi Arabia's civil defense had issued an early-warning alert for Riyadh before the coalition announced the interceptions, later saying the threat in the capital had passed.
In a separate statement, the coalition said that it had also intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis towards Saudi Arabia's southern region.
Saudi civil defense had previously issued warning alerts for the southwestern cities of Abha and Khamis Mushait, before later saying the danger had passed.
SAUDI ARABIA REPEATEDLY HIT BY HOUTHI ATTACKS
Southern Saudi Arabia, which borders Yemen, has repeatedly been hit by Houthi missile and drone attacks on military sites and energy infrastructure.
Fighting between the Houthis and the coalition backing Yemen's internationally recognized government has intensified after the Houthis advanced in September towards the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strategic shipping chokepoint at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, across the Arabian Peninsula from the Strait of Hormuz.
The Houthis have stepped up strikes on Saudi airports, ports and oil facilities amid the wider US-Israeli war with Iran, while Saudi Arabia has carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
