Saudi Arabia appears to be expanding a ballistic missile factory in a move that could allow the kingdom to produce weapons capable of traveling farther or carrying heavier payloads, according to researchers whose satellite imagery analysis was detailed in a new report.
An exclusive Reuters report pointed to construction at the al-Duwadimi complex, about 125 miles west of Riyadh. More capable missiles could strengthen Saudi deterrence against Iran and support its military operations against Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthi rebels.
