The missile force of the Yemeni army and popular committees on Thursday launched one ballistic missile on gatherings of Saudi-backed militants off the Saudi southern border province of Najran, a military official told Yemen Press Agency.

The Badr-1 missile targeted a gathering of the militants in Boqea desert, the official said.

The missile hit its targets accurately, causing massive losses on the militants’ ranks, the official added.

Saudi Arabia and some of its allies, including the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan, launched the brutal war in an attempt to reinstall former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and crush the country’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement, which has played a significant role, alongside the Yemeni army, in defending the nation.

Some 15,000 Yemenis have so far been killed and thousands more injured as a result of the bloody campaign which has also left a record 22.2 million Yemenis in a dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger, according to UN statistics.
