Yemeni forces regularly target positions inside Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the Saudi-led war on Yemen, which has claimed around 13,600 lives.

The Saudi aggression was launched in March 2015 to reinstate a former Riyadh-friendly government and to eliminate the Houthis, who have been running stateaffairs in the absence of an effective administration.

The offensive has, however, achieved neither of its goals despite the spending of billions of petrodollars and the enlisting of the cooperation of Saudi Arabias regional and Western allies.
