Yemeni drone strikes Saudi-led command center in Hudaydah

Yemeni army soldiers, supported by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have reportedly carried out an aerial attack against an important military target in the country’s western coastal province of Hudaydah in retaliation for the Saudi-led devastating military aggression against their impoverished homeland.

A Yemeni military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network that Yemeni troopers and their allies attacked a command center of Saudi troops and  Saudi-sponsored militants using a domestically-built Qasef-1 (Striker-1) combat drone on Monday afternoon.

There were no immediate reports about possible casualties and the extent of damage caused at the site.

Earlier in the day, Yemeni soldiers and Popular Committees fighters launched a short-range missile at a gathering of Saudi troopers and their mercenaries in the same Yemeni province, leaving scores of them killed and injured.

The developments came a day after eleven people, all members of the same family, lost their lives when Saudi fighter jets struck a residential area in the Radman al-Awad district of the central Yemeni province of al-Bayda.
