How did Houthi missiles slip past Saudi defences? Riyadh probes deadly airport attack

Saudi Arabian officials have launched an investigation into a deadly missile attack on a Riyadh airport after air defense systems failed to intercept the projectiles. The incident has resulted in the continued closure of the airport as authorities work to determine how the Houthi-launched weapons bypassed existing security measures.

The breach of Saudi air defenses highlights significant concerns regarding the effectiveness of the kingdom's military infrastructure in countering threats from Houthi forces. The ongoing probe aims to identify the specific technical or operational failures that allowed the attack to reach its target.
