Yemeni Army Targets Saudi Military Positions with Ballistic Missile

The missile command of the Yemeni army and Popular Committees announced that it fired a ‘Qaher M2’ ballistic missile, hitting the Saudi Arabia’s al-Jarba military base at Dhahran al-Janoub region in the Kingdom’s southwestern province of Asir, Al Mayadeen TV Network reported.

The Qaher M2 missile which was fired on Monday accurately hit the enemy targets, the report said.

Yemeni army soldiers, backed by fighters from allied Popular Committees, have increased attacks against positions held by Saudi mercenaries in several provinces across the conflict-ridden country in the past two months. At least 57 Saudi regime’s serviceman were killed in Yemen in September, the Saudi media reported.

The attacks against Saudi forces came in retaliation for the continued massacre of civilians and destruction of Yemen’s infrastructure by the Saudi-led coalition.

Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for more than two and half 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 Hadi.

Over 12,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
