Houthi Ansarullah Movement Says Attacked Military Target in Riyadh
According to Reuters, the drones attacked the target in Riyadh but the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the Samad 3 drones hit the target with high precision.
He stressed that the attack came in reaction to the Saudi crimes committed against the Yemeni people.
Yemeni forces regularly target positions inside Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the Saudi-led military aggression on their country.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its allies launched a brutal war against Yemen in March 2015.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the Saudi-led war has claimed the lives of over 60,000 Yemenis since January 2016.
The war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The United Nations says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.
The war was launched to eliminate Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore a former regime to power in Yemen. It has achieved neither of its goals.
