Houthi Attacks Expose Major Gaps in Saudi Arabia’s Air Defenses Renewed Houthi attacks are exposing serious vulnerabilities in Saudi Arabia’s air defense network, according to The Wall Street Journal. Saudi defenses reportedly intercept more than 90% of missiles targeting protected areas, while over half of Houthi attacks have struck locations lacking air defense coverage. The situation is raising concerns in Riyadh about a possible renewed U.S.-Iran conflict, which could leave Saudi Arabia facing attacks from multiple directions.
