Alwaght- Yemeni army hit a military command center in the southern Saudi region of Najran in a missile attack on Tuesday.
The command center that hosted the largest number of Saudi troops in the region was hit by Tochka missiles while Zalzal 3 ballistic missiles also targeted the Rajla military base in the region.
The Saudi military, however, later claimed that it had intercepted and destroyed the projectiles before impact.
There have been no immediate report on possible causalities of the attack.
The Yemeni army and Ansarullah resistance movement fighters have been jointly defending Yemen against a war Saudi Arabia has been waging on the country since 2011 in an unsuccessful attempt to reinstate Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch Riyadh ally who has resigned as Yemen’s president.
The war has killed at least 11,400 civilians, according to a recent tally by a Yemeni monitoring group. There have also been countless reports about the deliberate and indiscriminate targeting of civilian infrastructure by Saudi forces and mercenaries.
According to the Yemeni al-Masirah TV, Yemeni troops also launched a mortar attack against a gathering of Saudi mercenaries in the Dhubab district of the southwestern Yemeni province of Ta’izz.
In two separate locations across Ta’izz, the army’s artillery unit also carried out attacks against pro-Hadi forces and killed an unspecified number of the mercenaries who were trying to advance in the province.
Meanwhile, Saudi warplanes targeted the College of Military Engineering in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, and pounded the Bani Matar District in Sana’a Province. The aircraft also staged repeated bombings against the Sirwah District of the west-central Ma’rib Province of Yemen.
