Burkan-2

The Burkan-2H (Arabic H-بركان ٢), or Volcano-2H[6] (also spelled as Borkan H2 and Burqan 2H[7]) is a mobile short-range ballistic missile used by the Houthis militants in Yemen.

The Houthis released a statement, saying that the missile successfully hit the region of Yanbu in Saudi Arabia and caused a major fire at an Aramco oil refinery.

[7] A December 2017 report in The New York Times casts doubt on the official Saudi claim that this missile was successfully shot down.

The research team reviewed photo and video evidence, which led them to conclude that the missile-defense system had failed; the MIM-104 interceptor either missed the Volcano H-2 entirely or struck only the rear propulsion segment of the H-2 after it had separated from the warhead.

One Egyptian citizen was killed in the incident, the first casualty in the capital since the start of Saudi involvement in the Yemeni conflict.

[24][25] The remaining four missiles targeted airports and military installations near Abha, Jizan and Najran in the south of Saudi Arabia.
