Two Ballistic Missiles launched toward Riyadh

Anti-government forces in Yemen have so far not said anything about the attack, but it is believed to be in retaliation for Saudi Arabia's ongoing military intervention in Yemen.

Saudi Arabia protested strongly and there is concern that there could be a chain of retaliation. Sources including Saudi Arabian state-run television said the two ballistic missiles were launched from Yemen toward Riyadh late Saturday 28th. The Saudi military shot down the missiles, but two people were injured by falling debris.

The United Nations is calling on government and anti-government forces to prepare for a possible Coronavirus outbreak in Yemen, where the medical system is already in a state of collapse due to the civil war. But fighting has not subsided.

North Korea: ¿From defeat in defeat to final victory?

Moon Seong Mook, a South Korean analyst and former military official, says that the North would gain valuable knowledge even from failed launches as it continues to improve its technologies for missiles: "They could be testing a variety of things, such as the thrust of the rocket engine or the separation of stages," Moon said. "A failure is a failure, but that doesn't mean the launch was meaningless."

North Korean ballistic missile tests are banned by the United Nations because they're seen as part of the North's push for a nuclear-tipped missile that can hit the U.S. mainland.
