🔶Riyadh's investigations into the ineffectiveness of air defense in the Houthi's deadly ground attack

The AP news agency, citing two regional officials who did not want to be identified due to the sensitivity of the issue, reported that preliminary investigations show that the Houthis first sent several drones, paving the way for launching a combination of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles towards the Saudi capital's airport.

According to the report of this news agency, the Houthi militias are equipped with ballistic missiles and advanced systems whose warheads have the ability to change direction during flight; A capability that makes it very difficult for defense systems like Patriot and other equipment used by Saudi Arabia to intercept them.

One of the main focuses of the ongoing investigation in Riyadh is to find the answer to the question of why, despite the distance of more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) between Yemen and Riyadh, the defense systems did not issue any early warning.
