Multiple Ballistic Missiles Intercepted over Saudi Capital Riyadh
24 March, 2018
At least two Ballistic
Missiles have been intercepted over Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Residents
of that capital city report large explosions and debris falling from
the sky.
Doors and windows in my
apartment in Riyadh were shaking few minutes ago. Others reporting
they heard sounds of loud explosions.

APPARENTLY FOUR MISSILES
WERE INTERCEPTED
Here is Saudi Arabia
firing Patriot Missiles to hit the incoming attack:
Information is scarce at
this time, but it would be likely the missiles were fired from Yemen,
and were supplied by Iran. This would be the SECOND time that large
ballistic missiles supplied by Iran have been intercepted over the
Saudi Capital.
It is not clear how much
longer the Saudis will wait before declaring war against Iran.
UPDATE 5:36 PM EDT --
Yemen claims
responsibility. Houthis have announced they launched missile strikes
targeted at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Abha
Regional Airport in Asir, and Jizan Regional Airport.
In this video it can be clearly seen that a Patriot(?) interceptor hit the ground in Riyadh (via @AndrewMLeber)
