The source at the Yemeni army’ missile command said the Arabian Peninsula country’s forces targeted King Khalid Air Base near the city of Khamis Mushait in the southwest of Saudi Arabia.
The source added that the three missiles have successfully hit the Saudi targets, including headquarters, hangars and the domiciles for pilots in the air base.
This is the first time that the Yemeni army fires three ballistic missiles at a Saudi military base simultaneously.
The Yemeni forces carried out the attacks in retaliation for the continued massacre of civilians and destruction of the country’s infrastructure by the Saudi-led coalition.
The forces of the Arabian Peninsula country have already hit Saudi positions with various homegrown missiles, including “Qaher-1”, which has a range of 500 kilometers, and “Borkan-1”.
Since March 25, 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
Yemen’s Legal Center of Rights and Development announced on Saturday that the Saudi campaign has claimed the lives of over 12,000 Yemenis and left more than 20,000 others wounded.
