Yemen Targets Saudi Base With Ballistic Missile
MEP: The Yemeni army and Popular Committees reportedly launched a Tochka ballistic missile against Saudi Arabia’s military camp in a retaliatory attack on Monday morning, Yemen’s al-Massira television quoted a military source as saying.
Dozens of Saudi troops were killed and injured in the attack carried out in the Ahd al-Masarha district of Saudi Arabia’s southwestern region of Jizan.
The military source said anonymously that the camp housed command centers, a pad for Apache helicopters and scores of vehicles and trucks loaded with munitions.
The development comes as Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26, 2015, in a bid to bring Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi — who has resigned as Yemen’s president — back to power.
The assault killed more than 9,400 people and injured 16,000 others as well as destroying thousands of homes, hospitals, schools and other centers.
