Houthis launch ballistic missile on Riyadh

On December 19, Yemen’s Houthi forces launched a Burkan-2 ballistic missile at the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

The pro-Houthi media claimed that the missile hit Al Yamama Royal Palace in Riyadh. The Saudi state-run media said that the missile was intercepted south of the capital.

Meanwhile, local sources reported a balst in the capital.

Previously, the Houthis launched a ballistic missile at Riyadh International Airport on November 4. Then, Saudi Arabia also claimed that the missile was intercepted. However, details that appeared later allowed to suggest that the missile could hit a target near the runway.
