Yemeni army troops, backed by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have fired a domestically-manufactured ballistic missile at a military base in Saudi Arabia’s southern border region of Najran in retaliation for the Saudi regime’s military campaign against the war-ravaged country, Yemeni media report.
Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network cited an unnamed military official as saying that Nahouqa military base had been targeted with short-range Zelzal-2 (Earthquake-2) missile on Monday evening, adding that the projectile had hit the designated target with high precision.
The report further said that gatherings of Saudi forces at the base and behind it were also targeted with multiple artillery shells, adding that the attack killed and wounded an unspecified number of Saudi troopers and mercenaries.
A Saudi military vehicle was also destroyed in al-Sadis military base in the same region after Yemeni forces hit it with rockets, the report added.
