    French newsletter sheds some more details on the missile attack of Huthis on Saudi Arabia airforce base.
    According to the newsletter, several Western intelligence services have received confirmation that strikes, involving R-17"Scud" tactical missiles on the territory of Saudi Arabia, June 6, 2015, were commited using the information from the Iranian Intelligence and Security Service ("Wewak").

    Then the attack was subjected to the "Khamis Mushait" base. On that day, around 3 am, about 12 R-17 missiles were fired on the base.
    According to «Intelligence Online» sources Patriot SAM batteries only managed to intercept three missiles. It was claimed by the Iranian news agency IRNA, that during this operation Chief Staff of the Air Force of Saudi Arabia Mohammad al-Shaalan was killed. Although, according to the statements of Riyadh, the general died of a heart attack, and that happened outside of the kingdom.

    In mid-May a video was published, in which 9P117 launcher was transported with a trailer in the direction of the border with Saudi Arabia.
