Houthis stepped up their attacks 

My comments :

I notice that the Houthis are very disciplined. Last year 2018 there was a huge drop in their missile attacks against Saudi Arabia. Because the United Nations promised to broker a ceasefire. The Houthis were willing to wait. But that did not happen. Quite predictably the UN did not stop Saudi Arabia from bombing and killing Yemeni women and children. So this year the Houthis have resumed quite dramatic long range missile and drone attacks. 

This latest attack against the Abha airport, more than 200 km away inside Saudi Arabia  was carried out using a cruise missile - which flies low and therefore cannot be detected by the American made Patriot missile system. Hence the Houthis have found a weakness in the Patriot missile system. They cannot detect low flying projectiles.

Last month the Houthis launched drones which took out two Saudi oil pumping stations, at far greater distances.

People in the know say that there are actually more Houthi missile strikes into Saudi Arabia but which are not being reported. 

Things are getting bad for the Saudi Arabia the Great Iblis.
