Press TV - Yemeni forces have targeted an airport in Saudi Arabia with a domestically-manufactured ballistic missile.
According to Yemens Arabic-languageal-Masirah television network on Wednesday, the missile was launched at Jizan region's airport.
The attack came several hours after Yemeni forces targeted a power plant in the kingdom's Najran region.
