The Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting multiple Houthi drones and a ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh, amid intensified fighting in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia appears to be expanding its ballistic missile factory. A recent study suggests this expansion could lead to the production of more powerful missiles with increased range. The development comes amid ongoing regional tensions and intermittent Houthi attacks.
The expansion of the missile facility occurs within the context of the protracted conflict in Yemen. Saudi Arabia, leading a coalition against the Houthi movement, has faced missile and drone attacks. The potential for more advanced Saudi missile capabilities adds another layer to the complex geopolitical landscape of the Arabian Peninsula.
