Well, it is definitely not good. But sad? Saudi Arabia brought ugly warfare to Yemen and the war has come back.

"Plus, worryingly, this does seem a fairly automatable attack." Yes. Cheap. Easily available. Can be launched from a Camel. Don't have to attack major facilities. It is enough to attack pipelines in the desert. How much does
