The Yemeni army and popular committees fired on Saturday a ballistic missile on Ben Yalin military camp in Najran province.
A Zelzal-3 rocket was fired on Ben Yalin military camp and hit its target accurately, a military official said. Launching the missile came in response to the continued violations and airstrikes committed by the Saudi aggression on several provinces.
The Zelzal-3 is a local-made rocket. Its length is six meters, diameter is 650 mm and its warhead weight is 0.5 ton. It also contains 10,000 remnants and its range is 65 km with an accuracy of 300 m.
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.
