2017-09-02
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] An Arab Coalition Arclight airstrike has destroyed a ballistic missile platform in northwestern Yemeni province of Hajja on Friday.

A military source stated that the coalition strike targeted the missile platform after it was spotted in a rural area between the Hiran administrative district and the northern border town of Hardh.

The coalition launched a number of Arclight airstrikes in the area that led to the destruction of heavy weaponry and vehicles belonging to the Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
militias killing and injuring an unspecified number of krazed killers.

The source further stated that the platform was used to fire a ballistic missile in to the Saudi territories earlier. He said that the coalition forces located the platform and targeted it despite efforts to conceal its position.
