IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Aug 24, IRNA -- Yemen Army and popular forces targeted a Saudi sea base in Red Sea near Aramco oil installations, south of Saudi Arabia.

According to Al-Massira, a military source said without providing further details about the target that the army's naval force carried out a special operation on Saudi territorial waters in the Red Sea and hit a military base.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said that only a military base has been hit during the attack.

However, Saudi media outlets confirmed the attack, saying that an attack by a boat laded with explosives near Aramco facilities in Jizan, south of Saudi Arabia.

Over 14,000 Yemenis have been killed and thousands more injured since the onset of the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen in March 2015.

The United Nations says a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in need of food aid, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
