A ballistic missile fired by Yemeni forces in retaliation has hit facilities belonging to Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant Aramco in the country’s southwest, Yemen’s television said.
Army troops, backed by allied Popular Committees, fired a Qaher 1 missile at the company in the Saudi border province of Jizan early Tuesday, the al-Masirah news channel reported.
The television said the projectile was fired in response to stepped-up Saudi attacks on different locations across Yemen despite a ceasefire. Yemeni forces targeted the Jizan Regional Airport with a similar missile attack on Monday.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia continued its airstrikes, targeting various positions belonging to the Yemeni army and Houthis across the country.
It further warned of new attacks against Yemen, after the revolutionary forces fired a fourth ballistic missile in as many days towards Saudi territory.
Official media said Saudi Arabia intercepted a rocket fired towards the border city of Jazan late on Monday and then destroyed the missile launcher in Yemen.
The kingdom has deployed Patriot missile batteries designed to counter tactical ballistic missiles.
Air defenses shot down another missile fired towards Jazan on Monday morning.
On Friday, the coalition said a ballistic missile had been intercepted and that a second missile struck a desert area east of Najran city
