Alwaght- Yemeni forces have fired a retaliatory ballistic missile at a Saudi Arabian military in the kingdom’s southern Najran region.
According to a Saturday report by Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network the Saudi base had been targeted with short-range Badr-1 missile.
Military sources say the missile attack had led to “losses in the ranks of the enemy and its military equipment.”
However, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV claimed that the missile that targeted Saudi Arabian National Guard Forces had been intercepted, without elaborating.
Yemeni forces regularly fire retaliatory ballistic missile at positions inside Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the Riyadh-led military campaign on Yemen.
On March 25, Ansarullah forces in Yemen fired seven missiles at Riyadh. Saudi Arabia confirmed the launches and asserted that it successfully intercepted all seven.
"This wasn’t true," the prominent Washington-based Foreign Policy magazine wrote under the headline "Patriot Missiles Are Made in America and Fail Everywhere."
Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition, in a bid to restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.
Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been injured and martyred in Saudi-led strikes, with the vast majority of them are civilians.
However, the allied forces of the Yemeni army and popular committees established by Ansarullah revolutionaries have been heroically confronting the aggression with all means, inflicting huge losses upon Saudi-led forces.
The Saudi-led coalition – which also includes UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan and Kuwait – has been also imposing a blockade on the impoverished country’s ports and airports as a part of the aggression.
