Yemeni forces hit Saudi targets with 4 missiles

FNA - The Yemeni army and Ansarullah popular forces carried out a joint missile attack on Saudi positions in the kingdoms Southwestern border region of Jizan on Sunday.

The Yemeni army and Ansarullah popular forces also staged missile and artillery fire at the positions of the Saudi-led coalition at the border passage of Alab and Majazeh region in Asir province of Saudi Arabia.

A Yemeni military official said the army and Ansarullah popular forces unleashed a barrage of at least four Zelzal-2 missiles at the Saudi forces' positions in Jizan region.

Also al-Masireh news channel relayed that a civilian Yemeni was killed on Sunday in an attack by the Saudi forces on a residential area in al Hudaydah port city.

Another news outlet recounted that the Saudi-led coalition fighter jets bombarded Yemeni regions West of Taheeta, al-Jebaliyeh, and South of Kilo 16.

Other sources also reported that another Yemeni civilian was killed by the Saudi artillery shelling at Hayes region in Western Hudaydah.

In August, a Saudi air raid hit a school bus as it drove through a market in the town of Dhahyan in Saada Province in Northwestern Yemen, killing a total of 51 people, among them 40 children, and injuring 79 others, mostly children.

Saudi Arabia and some of its allies, including the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan, launched a brutal war against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall Yemens former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

The aggression initially consisted of a bombing campaign but was later coupled with a naval blockade and the deployment of ground forces to Yemen. Around 20,000 people have died since the war began, says Yemens Health Ministry.

The Saudi-led war has also taken a heavy toll on the countrys infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The United Nations (UN) has said that a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as Saudi Arabia's deadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.
