Burkan 2 H missile over Saudi Arabia intercepted near King Kahled airport

Saudi Arabia intercepted a ballistic missile over north-east Riyadh.  It is said that the missile came from Yemen. This was in retaliation for a air strike carried out by Saudi forces against a gathering spot for Houthi militants. It is a market place. 25-29 killed. Numerous injured. See the fourth and fifth link below.  Houthi militants claim responsibility for the Missile.

Neither side wants to give a little. A culture of war has taken over. Pray that calmer heads stop to think. If you do not pray please keep the people in this area in you positive thoughts.

I watched news feed and read information from the following links before blogging.
