Yemen targets southern Saudi Arabia with missile
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, March 12, IRNA -- The Yemeni army and the popular committee fired a missile toward Asir district, southern Saudi Arabia.
According to Yemeni media 'Al-Masirah', Yemeni forces targeted the area with Zelzal-1 missile.
Meanwhile, Yemeni artillery units targeted Saudis' positions in Alab passway, southern Saudi Arabia.
The Yemeni forces could prevent advance of the Saudi mercenaries and inflicted heavy damages to their forces and equipment.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing back the government of Mansour Hadi back to power.
Some 20,000 Yemenis have been killed and thousands more injured since the onset of the Saudi-led aggression.
The assaults of the Saudi-led coalition forces have failed to stop the Yemenis from resisting the aggression.
Earlier, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree has accused the Saudi-led coalition of repeatedly breaching ceasefire agreement in Al Hudaydah, Yemen, saying that it has breached the truce 966 times in 4 days.
The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2451 to support the Stockholm Agreement on deployment of a team in order to facilitate monitoring and implementing the Agreement and establishing truce in important Yemeni ports.
The resolution mainly focuses on sending essential commodities to the Yemeni people, supporting the Stockholm Agreement, assigning the Secretary-General of the United Nations to implement it and observing the ceasefire.
