Saudis probe how defence systems failed to stop deadly Houthi attack on Riyadh airport
Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
Saudi Arabia has launched an official investigation to determine why its air defense systems failed to intercept a barrage of missiles and drones fired by Houthi rebels. The inquiry specifically targets the failure to prevent a deadly strike on Riyadh's airport, an attack that resulted in at least 13 deaths.
The probe is examining how the incoming projectiles traveled over 1,000 kilometers to reach the Saudi capital and why the defense architecture did not provide adequate or earlier warning to mitigate the impact of the attack.
