DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Arabia said Saturday it intercepted a missile attack over its capital and bomb-laden drones targeting a southern province, the latest in a series of airborne assaults it has blamed on Yemen’s rebel Houthis.
The state-owned Al-Ekhbariya TV broadcast footage of what appeared to be explosions in the air over Riyadh. Social media users also posted videos, with some showing residents shrieking as they watched the fiery blast pierce the night sky, which appeared to be the kingdom’s U.S. Patriot missile batteries intercepting the ballistic missile.
The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh issued a warning to Americans, calling on them to “stay alert in case of additional future attacks.” Flight-tracking websites showed a number of flights scheduled to land at Riyadh’s international airport diverted or delayed in the hour after the attack.
FACT: Iran REGIME IS The ONLY STATE SPONSORING TERRORISM, Why the world is not confronting this Terrorist Regime once & for all to PUT AN END TO TERRORISM OF LAST FOURTY YEARS?! INSTEAD APPEASING MADE THEM GROW, SHAME SecBlinken POTUS jakejsullivan PressSec StateDeptSpox
Building up in blaming Iran and attacking Iran. They are also trying to legitimize the horrible and cowardly destruction of Yemen. Ptobably all part of the deal they made with Biden in their rece t call.
Tryna change the subject huh ? 😂😂😂 Bold move MBS.
I hope everyone was safe. a friend from Riyadh sent to me a video... it was like it's just in his rooftop.
eltoronero The amount of hate and ignorance in the comments is amazing!
My goodness. How shocking. How outrageous: Houthis retaliating against Saudis for indiscriminate bombing of civilians. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
proof or its fake..
Interesting timing or deflection
JoeBiden' Houthi absolution as terrorism entity targeting KingSalman SaudiArabia is contradictory to Inquisition of MBS on alqaeda supporter Kashoggi death. No crocodile tears! Finally Iran_GOV & KingSalman peaceful coexistence brokered by KremlinRussia_E & JapanGov
They can go f themselves....byeee
Thoughts and Prayers !!!!
Bwahahahah.... The PR guy thought this would be good timing. Bwahahahah... Yeah saudi arabia, we are so worried for you!!
Fuck Saudi Arabia!! NEVER FORGET JamalKhashoggi
Sure it did....What interesting timing? BidenInsultBot
Bencjacobs I don’t believe a word from Saudi govt. thanks.
Trumps mideast policy was more peaceful. Here we go again, the warmachine starting up.
Was this a SmokesndMirrors distraction by MBS? He still assisted with many murders, and not just Jamal. justiceforjamal
well, sometimes the underdog Saudis been beating for years tries to punch back. they shouldn't complain about it or 'go khashoggi' on people.
Bencjacobs 'Saudi Arabia says' and AP reports. PartnersInGenocide
Bencjacobs When you try to change the subject from MbS ordering the murder of Khashoggi and justify its war crimes against Yemen.
'Saudi Arabia said-' I don't trust a thing Saudi Arabia says so...
Does anyone believe anything Saudi Arabia claims? MBS didn’t order the murder of Khashoggi until intelligence proved otherwise. They’ll say & do anything to cover their own crimes.
Don’t trust anything Saudi royal family’s corrupt government tells you
The United States does not need Saudi Arabia! Saudi Arabia needs the US! POTUS Biden MUST not let the Khashoggi murder go unanswered! This is at the core of who we are as a Nation! We fail on this, we’re not worthy of anything!
potus should stand with Saudis against the Iranian proxy Alhouthi!!
Sounds like made up bullshit to me.
WW3 is coming folks but at least The president isn't tweeting mean things...
Well, they have enough military weapons and money to protect themselves.
But... but Biden administration says that the Houthis r a peaceful militia & has just removed them from the list of terrorist groups!!
Nice try guys but we're still talking about the bonesaw guy
I am looking for new, good friends
