Yemeni forces score direct missile strike on Saudi military
2016-09-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Yemeni Army's "Rocket Battalion" scored a direct hit on a Saudi Army camp on Monday, causing severe damage to the military installation.

According to the Yemeni Republican Guard, the Rocket Battalion fired a Qahir-1 ballistic missile at the Khaled bin 'Abdel-'Aziz Army Base in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, killing several members of the Saudi Armed Forces in the process.

This ballistic missile strike was conducted by the Yemeni Army in response to the Saudi Air Force's merciless Arclight airstrikes over the Arhab Region of the Sanaa Governorate on Sunday.

As many as 30 non-combatants were killed as a result of the Saudi Arclight airstrikes over the Sanaa Governorate on Sunday.

Soddys down Houthi missile

[AlArabiya] The Saudi-led coalition battling militias in Yemen said Monday it shot down a missile fired by the insurgents towards an airbase in southern Saudi Arabia.

The missile was the latest aimed at the kingdom since the coalition began air raids to support Yemen's internationally-backed government in March last year. Khamis Mushait air base, in Saudi Arabia's southwest, has been at the forefront of the coalition bombing campaign against Houthi militias and their allies.

Saudi Arabia has deployed Patriot missile batteries to counter tactical ballistic missiles fired occasionally from Yemen during the war.

Fighting in Yemen has intensified since the collapse of UN-backed peace talks in Kuwait on August 6. Rebels have also fired harder-to-detect Katyusha rockets, particularly into the Saudi border city of Najran.

More than 100 civilians and soldiers have died in strikes and skirmishes along the frontier.
