This is turning out to be a very strange story. This story is being
reported by multiple media sources --- al-Masdar, al-Manar, Mehr,
Ahlul Bayt News Agency, Press TV -- but all of these media sources are
linked to Iran. Mainstream media sources are almost completely
ignoring the story, except for an occasion report that describe it as
a "claim" by Houthis.
-- l 've been checking the BBC, they aren't reporting it. Could it be fake news?
If the story were not true, then the Saudis would have denied it by now,
which they haven't. Striking a Saudi city is a major coup for the Houthis.
