Yemeni forces launch retaliatory rocket attacks on Saudi positions

Yemeni forces have fired several rockets and a ballistic missile at military positions in southwestern Saudi Arabia in response to the kingdom’s relentless airstrikes.

The forces on Wednesday fired a barrage of Katyusha rockets at a Saudi military position in the southwestern province of Najran, Yemen’s al-Masirah website reported.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Yemeni forces also fired a home-made ballistic missile at an industrial area in the city of Najran.

On Tuesday, the Yemeni army fired a ballistic missile at the Abha airport in the Saudi region of Asir.

Another ballistic missile hit the Saudi state oil giant Aramco in the southwestern region of Jizan on Tuesday, inflicting heavy losses on the company.

The United Nations said Tuesday that the death toll from the 18-month Saudi war against Yemen had increased to nearly 10,000.

The UN humanitarian coordinator said in a press conference in the Yemeni capital that the toll was based on official records provided by medical facilities in Yemen.
