Yemeni Army Launches Ballistic Missiles at Jizan

Local Editor

Yemeni troopers and Popular Committees fighters fired two home-grown Zelzal-1 (Earthquake-1) ballistic missiles at the gatherings of Saudi soldiers and their mercenaries south of the al-Khobe district in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern border region of Jizan, located 966 kilometers (600 miles) south of the capital, Riyadh.

There were no immediate reports about possible casualties or the extent of damage caused.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing the government of Hadi back to power and crushing the country’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement.

The aggression has killed some 15,000 people and injured thousands more.

More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
