Saudi Arabia is facing a critical shortage of interceptor missiles used to neutralize incoming enemy projectiles as it struggles to counter a relentless barrage of drones and missiles launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen in recent days.
The surge in cross-border aerial attacks has severely strained Riyadh's defense systems and destabilized its military readiness. To manage the escalating crisis, the Saudi government has turned to its regional and Western allies, urgently appealing for vital military assistance to replenish its depleted defensive stockpiles, according to two regional officials briefed on the matter.
