Recent deadly strikes by Iran-backed Yemeni rebels targeting Riyadh airport have raised concerns over Saudi Arabia's ability to intercept incoming missiles. The Wall Street Journal reports that Saudi defenses are facing shortages in interceptors, potentially leaving critical infrastructure vulnerable. These attacks occurred over the weekend and highlight the escalating conflict in Yemen. As a result, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been reportedly moving between heavily secured palaces equipped as bunkers for protection. This situation underscores the growing threat posed by Houthi missile capabilities and the challenges faced by Saudi air defenses in countering them. The report suggests the need to address defensive capabilities in the face of continuing attacks by the rebels.
