The Yemeni army and popular forces continued inflicting heavy losses on the Saudi Army in the Southern parts of the kingdom, destroying a military vehicle and a reconnaissance aircraft in Najran province.
Saudi Arabia’s spy drone was downed by the Yemeni forces over al-Talah and Zalam regions in Najran province.
The Saudi army used the reconnaissance aircraft for gathering intelligence on the Yemeni forces’ military positions and command centers.
The incident came as Saudi Arabia continued air raids on the civilian population across the impoverished nation.
On Thursday, military sources disclosed that the Yemeni army has fired several missiles and artillery shells at strategic military positions of Saudi Arabia in the Southern parts of the kingdom.
"Saudi Arabia’s al-Dokhan and al-Soudaneh military centers in al-Khoba region in Jizan province came under heavy missile and artillery attacks by the Yemeni forces, sustaining heavy losses," a military source said.
On Tuesday, the Yemeni army fired a Qaher-I ballistic missile at Saudi Arabia’s Khaled bin Abdel Aziz airbase in Assir province.
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.
