Dozens of Saudi-paid mercenaries were killed and wounded when the Yemeni army and popular forces fired a ballistic missile, Zilzal 2, on their gatherings in Khab and al-Sha’af district of al-Jawf province overnight, a military official told the state-run news agency Saba on Tuesday.
The missile hit the targets accurately.
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 11,400 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.
