The Yemeni army and popular forces targeted Saudi Arabia’s strategic Abha airport in the Southern province of Asir with a Qaher-I ballistic missile.
Military sources said that the missile hit the target with high precision and “caused heavy damage to the airport”.
It was the tenth Qaher-I ballistic missile fired at the Saudi targets in the past 20 days, meaning that Yemen targeted its enemy with one ballistic missile every other day, they added.
Wednesday reports also said that the Yemeni army and popular forces launched a fresh round of attacks on the Saudi forces’ positions in the province of Jizan in the Southern part of the kingdom with their upgraded ballistic missiles.
Yemen’s Qaher-I ballistic missile precisely hit Saudi Arabia’s military bases in Jizan province, inflicting heavy losses on them.
Tens of Saudi troops were killed and dozens more were injured in the missile attack.
Qaher-I is an updated version of a Russian-made surface-to-surface missile.
On Tuesday, the Yemeni army and popular forces targeted Saudi Arabia’s Aramco Oil Company in Jizan with Qaher-I ballistic missiles for a second time in less than two weeks.
“The (Qaher-I) missile precisely hit Aramco oil company on Monday night,” the Arabic-language media outlets quoted an unnamed Yemeni army official as saying.
He reiterated that the missile attack came in retaliation for the Saudi-led aggressors’ violation of the UN-sponsored ceasefire.
Yet, the source did not give further details about the damage incurred on Aramco Company.
