A ballistic missile targeted King Khalid Airport in Riyadh. It was launched Saturday from Yemen and intercepted by Saudi air defense.

No one was injured, but this may be the begin of a war zone getting extended from Yemen to the heart of Saudi Arabia.

Minutes after Yemeni forces announced that they have fired a ballistic missile toward Riyadh a loud explosion was heard in the Saudi Arabia Capital. Yemen said the attack shook Riyadh and was successful.  The missile landed on a highway north of the airport. Iran may also be behind this attack.
