Yemen Fires Two Missiles at Saudi Arabia’s Najran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The forces of the Yemeni army and Popular Committees, in a retaliatory attack, fired two domestically made missiles at Saudi Arabia’s positions in Najran region near the border between the two Arab countries, a report said.
The missile command of the Yemeni army and Popular Committees hit the Saudi forces’ positions in the district of Sawh in Najran with two homegrown missiles dubbed “Zelzal-1”, Saba news agency reported.
The missile unit of the Yemeni forces also hit the Saudi army in east of al-Rabuaa area in Asir region, the report said.
The attacks against the Saudi-led forces came in retaliation for the continued massacre of civilians and destruction of Yemen’s infrastructure by the coalition led by the Riyadh regime.
Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for nearly four 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.
The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights announced in a statement on March 25 that the war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured until then. The war and the accompanying blockade have also caused famine across Yemen.
