The **Houthis** have demonstrated considerable military capability, using locally made missiles to attack Saudi military convoys. This underscores the high economic and logistical cost the war imposes on **Saudi Arabia**.
## Attack in Al-Wadeea
High-quality footage documents an attack with locally made Yemeni ballistic missiles on trucks carrying military equipment from Saudi territory. The incident took place at the **Al-Wadeea** camp, a strategic point on the border. This kind of action by **Houthi** forces not only demonstrates a growing offensive capability, but also signals a direct challenge to the coalition's military infrastructure.
## The cost of war
The war in Yemen, which began in **2014**, has had a devastating impact on the country's economy, but it also entails considerable spending for the nations involved in the coalition. The destruction of military equipment, such as that documented in Al-Wadeea, translates into direct economic losses for **Saudi Arabia**, which must replace or repair these assets. In addition, the prolongation of the conflict generates ongoing expenses in logistics, maintenance and personnel.
## Local manufacturing, global impact
The **Houthis'** ability to manufacture ballistic missiles locally is a game changer. It not only reduces their dependence on external supplies, but also raises the complexity of military operations for the coalition. The cost of the war in Yemen is not limited to material losses, but also includes the impact on regional stability and long-term defense investment.
