The Yemeni army hit the industrial zone and power plant in Saudi Arabia’s Assir province with a ballistic missile, military sources disclosed.

Yemen’s Zalzal-3 ballistic missile hit South Dhahran power plant in Assir province’s industrial zone, the Arabic-language al-Masira news channel quoted an unnamed military source as saying.

The Yemeni ballistic missile precisely hit its target in the Assir Industrial zone.

There were no reports on the exact casualties of the Saudi forces, but it is believed that a large number of them have been killed in attack.

The Yemeni attacks came in response to Saudi Arabia’s continued air raids on the civilian population across the impoverished nation.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Yemeni army and popular forces continued their retaliatory offenses against the Saudi military positions in the Southern parts of the kingdom, and inflicted heavy losses on them.

The allied forces destroyed two armored vehicles of the Saudi troops in Jizan province.

The Yemeni forces also attacked the pro-Saudi forces’ military positions in Sarawah region of Marib province, killing at least 20 militias and injuring 30 others.

The Yemeni army’s artillery units also attacked the Malteh region and Alab border passage where the Saudi troops sustained several casualties.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.

Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
