Yemeni forces hit military convoy in Saudi Arabia



Yemeni forces have targeted a convoy of Saudi military forces and Saudi mercenaries in Saudi Arabias southwest with a rocket.

The retaliatory rocket attack was carried out against the convoy by Yemens army and fighters of the Ansarullah movement in the al-Khazra district of Saudi Arabias Najran region on Friday, Yemens al-Masirah television said.

The report said the attack killed and injured a large number of the Saudis forces and mercenaries.

About 10,000 Yemenis have been killed since the regime in Riyadh launched its deadly campaign against Yemen in March 2015. The military aggression was meant to reinstall Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh who has resigned as Yemens president.

A 72-hour ceasefire went into effect in Yemen shortly before Wednesday midnight to allow aid to reach the families trapped in towns and villages cut off by months of Saudi bombing.

The Saudi military has repeatedly violated the ceasefire, however.

On Saturday, Saudi jets hit the al-Maton district in the northwestern Yemeni province of Jawf, killing one Yemeni civilian.

Saudi Arabia launched rocket attacks against several areas in the Yemeni province of Saada on Friday. According to al-Masirah, the rockets hit residential areas in the Shada district.

On Thursday, six people were killed in airstrikes by Saudi warplanes on Saada and the province of Amran.
