Yemeni Army Hits Saudi Base with Homegrown Missile
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Yemen’s army and Popular Committees fired a homegrown ballistic missile at a military base in Saudi Arabia’s Najran province in retaliation for continued massacre of civilians by the Saudi-led coalition in the Arabian Peninsula country.
The missile force of Yemen’s army and Popular Committees on Wednesday fired a Zilzal 2 ballistic missile on gatherings of Saudi-paid mercenaries in Najran border province, a military official told Saba News Agency.
The missile hit its target in Abasah site near Khadhra crossing point, the official added.
Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for almost three years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
Over 14,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
