In Jizan province, the units of the army and popular forces bombed Saudi military vehicle in Al-Sawdah military site, killing its crew members.
The Yemeni forces also shelled Saudi Al-Masfawf military site in Jizan, hitting the target directly.

In response, the enemy fighter jets launched nine air strikes on their Saudi Al-Shabakah and Al-Shabak military sites, as the aggression’s spy planes and fighter jets kept flying over the area for hours.

These military operations function as a response to the constant war crimes committed by the US-backed Saudi coalition against Yemeni civilians since March 26 of 2015.
