Saudi Arabia has launched an investigation into how its air defenses failed to intercept a barrage of missiles and drones launched by the Houthis at King Khalid International Airport on October 10. Regional officials say initial findings indicate the Houthis launched multiple drones before firing cruise and ballistic missiles at the airport. Investigators are also looking into why Saudi air defenses did not provide early warnings of the incoming attack, which reportedly traveled more than 1,000 kilometers to reach Riyadh.
