Yemen rockets hit Saudi bases in Najran
Yemeni forces have fired several rockets towards Saudi military bases in the southwestern border city of Najran in retaliation for Saudi Arabia’s ongoing aggression against the impoverished Arab country.
According to media reports, several rockets launched by Yemen’s Ansarullah movement and allied army units targeted Saudi military positions in Najran late on Friday.
Yemeni fighters also launched a series of rockets and mortar attacks on a Saudi military base and surrounding areas in the southwestern Jizan region.
Yemeni forces have killed dozens of Saudi border guards and soldiers across the troubled region in recent months.
Such attacks are in retaliation for Saudi Arabia’s relentless airstrikes which have been carried out on Yemen since March 26.
In the latest round of Saudi airstrikes, at least one civilian was killed and four others injured in the northwestern Sa’ada province. Saudi warplanes bombed a school and a medical center of al-Dhahir city in the province.
There are also reports of civilian casualties after several airstrikes hit the Gharban and Maran areas there.
The Saudi warplanes also conducted two raids in the southern province of Aden.
The Riyadh regime has been carrying out airstrikes against Yemen without a UN mandate. The aerial attacks are meant to weaken the Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of the Al Saud regime.
According to the United Nations, over 2,600 Yemeni people have been killed so far and at least 11,000 others injured in Saudi Arabia's airstrikes on Yemen.
