Now yemens who 3 rebels say theyve launched their biggest ever military operation against saudi arabia drones and 3 Ballistic Missiles have been fired toward saudi arabia since monday who 3 say they plan to launch more Saudi Coalition fighting in yemen says it intercepted a Ballistic Missile headed towards riyadh a Coalition Spokesman says the attack was launched from the yemeni capital sanaa towards civilian targets in the kingdom lets bring in. Hes a retired Jordanian Air force general good to have you with us so 1st of all do we know is there any evidence to establish how successful a strike this was did the missiles and drones hit their targets or not. Its very difficult to tell we need some more information the wreckage the you know sorts it would be difficult but reaching really odd that they curacy. Be planning to head that ministry of defense and some other military airport but as big as correlation i could saying because the hooty now is winning of the ground in joels some part of yemen so yes its to make this old and secure. And stable for any investment in the future and simply get threat for the Saudi Air Defense system which i feel its a bit weak to intercept such missiles are they need the sat system which will intercept beyond the atmosphere etc jumping out of an audience tell us why you think the saudi advent system is weak because of course the saudi narrative is that they intercepted and shot down these missiles and drones most of the air Defense Systems around the world even the person as youve hitting the star like want percent those so. Thats why the police normally reach. A normally when this missile into the atmosphere the warhead and the but they separated from each other so its very hard to hit through such an attack and the cell would need to fat system. Is so vast so need more radar cetera thats why they asked the american to the market. Last 23 months if you remember sammy right so its going to be. Theres going to be a telethon but you have now unprecedented was the number of missiles and drones and again there are kind of 2 claims and counterclaims about how many missiles and drones were launched. Well i dont have enough and 4 but i think you read the news thats like like for me silence 8 drawings and some cruise events. But whats. Not to believe there is the military must civilian once. But they have the accuracy and they have the range if you remember that some other 3 drones they have to be taken crease around so they have this. Change the balance of the war. Concerning the emery and the. D. But its also some amazing by them that treating the immorality the same you know munching substring i think the market. To the iranian the ask not to be hit or Something Like that so im not sure about that that segues nicely into my question about what does this strike tell us about the who hes Technological Capabilities because as you said i mean were talking about the people you know merge from the mountains around samarra now apparently or allegedly according to the claims that targeting ministries in riyadh on the other side of the arabian peninsula. Yes. I think they have the edge ive said the change to to have the war do a nightly draw and you have to put this you have the also the big Cruise Missile which is very effective very hard to hit these these Cruise Missiles so that the biggest threat to the so yes they can hit anywhere and merits even they can reach israel i could say now so thats whats happening in yemen its a form of chaos i think the best way to solve the m. Anything is to saudi and the matter should withdraw from your minutes old you have liberated billions of dollars and see whats happening now in south yemen and i dont think they will leave such where because they need. To control it so cut the control the 7 seas and the wards and the needy people. All these facilities so i dont think they will leave yemen very sore so they interested in this today and billions of dollars they need somebody to and for that and thats what theyre looking for they failed to contend it in the end and they failed even to defeat it so who see so and i dont see these agreements that we meant or sadrs illusion to to want sex you and is working anymore so they need. The if they its a terrible case and its to sophia i think. The word should into free now to stop them and they will be nice i think what they do with a lot of will denies in court right now in the covered 19 to get to yemen with this or. Thing must avoid agree it is a catastrophe thats going on there thanks so much about moon of and i want.

A group made up of mainly north korean defectors has managed to evade south Korean Police and fly propaganda balloons into the north the balloons carry leaflets money and memory cards which usually contain south korean drummers and music over the border the government in solar tried to stop them and has condemned the move activism like this is been one cause of recent tensions between the neighbors and the north Korean Military is reportedly reinstalled loudspeakers along the border now the south is warning it not to undermine efforts to keep peace on the peninsula we will continue to know our military is monitoring the North Koreans around the clock and maintaining military readiness please understand that we cannot tell you in detail about the situation but i have already said north korea will pay if it commits any acts that can thought the effort to improve relations and maintain peace in the Korean Peninsula robin fried has more from solved now. As far as we can tell the d. M. Z. Itself remains quiet but i think it is true to say that given the recent very fast unraveling of relations across that border there has been an uptick in tensions we have the north apart from apparently reinstalling these loud speakers presumably once more to start blaring propaganda out across the barbed wire the north has said that it is going to reestablish guard posts just inside the d. M. Z. Which had been taken away as a way of deescalating tensions there have also announced that theyre going to start theyre going to resume military exercises and they are the d. M. Z. So there is a rise in tension and of course its not helped by this evolution launches like this one the defectors themselves will claim this as a major success but it remains unclear just how many of these balloons have actually made it across the d. M. Z. Into north korea it is not a very exact science and in fact at least one of the balloons and some of its leaflets has been discovered in south korea and in fact to the southeast from where it was launched so its not clear how many balloons have made it the whole intention of it though is to spread leaflets said to be around 500000. 00 leaflets were sent up with these balloons also booklets and really with very incendiary propaganda attacking the person the kim il sung he is the founder of north korea and a revered figure so it will certainly enrage the North Koreans a should any of these leaflets and other propaganda material end up in north korean territory.
