Yemeni forces kill 25 Saudi troops in missile attack in Jizan
At least 25 Saudi troops have been killed in a missile attack launched by Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters and allied army units in the monarchy's southwestern province of Jizan.
The retaliatory attack was carried out on Sunday night against the al-Tawal border crossing, which links Yemen’s northwestern province of Hajjah to Jizan, the Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network reported, citing a military source.
Meanwhile, Yemeni forces managed to destroy two Saudi military boats in another missile attack near the port city of Mocha, located in the Yemen’s southwestern province of Taiz, on the Red Sea coast.
Yemenis also hit a Saudi military base in Yemen’s northern Jawf province with a ballistic missile. There were no immediate reports of possible casualties and the extent of damage caused in the attack.
Yemen carries out these attacks in retaliation for Saudi strikes, launched with the aim of undermining Houthi Ansarullah movement and bringing back to power the country’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
In a fresh wave of bombardment, Saudi warplanes conducted an aerial aggression against a residential area in the western province of Hudaydah on Sunday, killing at least six civilians, including children, and wounded dozens more. Four houses were completely destroyed in the assault and several others sustained damage.
Saudi fighter jets also conducted strikes on Harard district of the Yemen’s Hajjah province and on al-Teyal district of Sana'a province. No report of the sorties’ possible casualties has so far been released.
Separately, Saudi war jets killed at least five women in strikes targeting a house in the Kitaf district in Yemen’s northwestern Sa'ada province.
Saudi Arabia’s military attacks against impoverished Yemen, which started in late March, have so far claimed the lives of more than 7,500 people and injured over 14,000 others.
