Twenty-Six Wounded as Saudi Intercepts Yemen Rebel Missile
[AnNahar] Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... shot down a ballistic missile fired by Yemen's Houthis on Wednesday, with shrapnel leaving 26 people maimed, a Riyadh-led coalition fighting the Death Eaters said. Two children were among the maimed from the missile that was intercepted over the southern Saudi city of Najran a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. It is the capital of Najran Province and a favored target of Houthirocket forces.... , said a coalition statement published by the Saudi state media. The Iran-backed Huthis have in recent months ramped up missile attacks against Saudi Arabia, which Riyadh usually says it intercepts. The Huthis' al-Masirah TV said Wednesday's strike was targeted at a Saudi National Guard camp in the border city. The attack brings the tally to more than 185 rebel missiles launched since 2015, according to the coalition, which that year joined the Yemeni government's fight against Houthis.
