Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries launched fresh retaliatory attacks against Saudi Arabia, targeting military positions with mortar shells in Najran area south of the kingdom.
There were no immediate reports about casualties and the extent of the damage.
Reports said Monday that the Houthis also downed a Saudi Apache helicopter in Najran region. The revolutionaries also fired 12 Katyusha rockets at a base in the same territory.
This comes as Saudi Arabia continued the aerial bombardment of the impoverished country.
Local sources said Monday that Saudi fighter jets pounded the district of Dabab in Taiz province in southern Yemen, targeting a school in the area.
Saudis carried out other attacks across Yemen on Monday, with reports suggesting that over 15 airstrikes struck the district of Baqim in Sa’ada in northern Yemen while six attacks hit the district of Harad in Hajjah province, again in north. Saudi warplanes also conducted two further strikes in Lahij province in the south.
The Saudis intensified their airstrikes against Yemen earlier this month when peace talks mediated by the United Nations in Kuwait collapsed. The talks were held between the Ansarullah and their allies on the one side and delegates representing Yemen’s fugitive president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, on the other.
