Yemeni Missiles Hit Saudi Arabia, 25 Troops Killed
Alwaght- A numbers of Saudi troops were killed in missile and artillery attacks by Yemeni forces on a number of the Saudi military sites in the regions of Jizan and Najran.
As part of their retaliatory campaign against Saudi Arabia, Yemeni allied forces targeted a military base in the kingdom's southwestern province of Jizan with missiles, killing 25 Saudi troops and injuring 37 others, reports say.
Yemen's Ansarullah movement issued a statement saying 37 Saudi troops had also been injured after the popular committee forces fired 18 missiles on the al-Mosem base.
Yemeni forces also targeted positions of the Saudi military at a border crossing in Yemen's northwestern province of Hajjah, inflicting fatalities on the aggressors.
The Tawal-Harad border crossing was hit by 24 artillery shells, according to Yemen’s al-Masira TV channel. Saudi soldiers and Riyadh’s mercenaries were reportedly among the casualties.
The Yemeni forces also carried out a rocket attack against a Saudi base in Salah region of Saudi Arabia’s Najran Province.
Meanwhile Saudi-led invaders continued with their atrocities against Yemenis on Friday by bombing two factories in Hodaida province, killing two civilians.

The Saudi warplanes targeted a plastics industries factory in "16 kilometers" area and a Vaseline factory in Jumisha area al-Dirihmi district, a local official said.

Eight people were wounded in the attack, according to the official.
Over the last nine months, the Saudi regime has been leading a barbaric aggression against the Yemen, killing over 7,600 mostly civilians including women and children and injuring many more while  destroying civilian infrastructure.

The Saudi regime alleges that it aims at restoring fugitive president Mansour Hadi who resigned and rejected an agreement with all Yemeni factions on ruling the country fairly and equally. Hadi sought help of al Qaeda terrorists and international mercenaries to join the Saudi aggression against the innocent civilians.

In response, the Yemeni army and popular committees have confronted the Saudi aggressors, across the country and Saudi Arabia’s border regions.
