Saudi Arabia Intercepts Missiles Fired From Yemen
Saudi Arabian security forces intercepted (AP) two ballistic missiles fired from Yemen on Wednesday. The move comes a day after the Saudi-led coalition resumed its heavy air campaign (NYT)
against Yemen's Shia Houthi rebels, killing twenty-one people across
the country. UN-mediated peace talks to end the conflict between rival
Yemeni factions collapsed over the weekend in Kuwait. Thousands of
people have died in the conflict, which erupted in 2015, and the recent
escalation in fighting has prompted a humanitarian crisis. Separately,
the U.S. State Department approved (Reuters)
the potential sale of tanks, armored vehicles, and other military
equipment, worth approximately $1.15 billion, to Saudi Arabia.
