Yemens Arabic-languageal-Masirah television networkreported, citing a military source, that the al-Sadis military base had been targeted with a short-range Zelzal-2 (Earthquake-2) missile on Wednesday evening.
The report said that the projectile targeted a gathering of Saudi soldiers and mercenaries in the base.
There was no immediate word on the exact number of casualties.
Saudi Arabia often claims that it intercepts incoming Yemeni missiles, but a close study of evidence by The New York times last year clearly suggested that in one of the most high-profile of such Yemeni missile attacks, the projectile launched deep into Saudi territory had in fact landed unimpeded, bypassing American-made Patriot missilesand potentially other defenses used by Riyadh. Saudi Arabia claimed that it had foiled that attack, which targeted the Riyadh airport.
On Monday, the Yemeni army said that it had launched two domestically-made short-range Badr 1-type missiles at the Saudi Aramco oil facility in the Saudi border province of Jizan. Saudi Arabia claimed as is its wont that the countrys air defenses had intercepted and destroyed both projectiles over the skies above the region.
Yemeni forces regularly fire ballistic missile at positions inside Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the Riyadh-ledmilitary campaign on Yemen.
Additionally on Wednesday evening, the Yemeni forces managed to destroy a Saudi-led coalition tank in Yemens western coast, al-Masirah said in a separate report.
Meanwhile, Yemens official Saba news agency, citing an unnamed military official, reported that the sniper unit of Yemens allied Popular Committees either killed or wounded at least 13 Saudi mercenaries in different localities of the western coast, the northern province of Jawf, and Sirwah district in the central province of Marib.
Earlier on Wednesday, tens of thousands of Yemeni people held a protest rally in the capital, Sanaa, to condemn the assassination of President of Yemens Supreme Political CouncilSaleh al-Samadin a recent Saudi airstrike.

The massive demonstration was held after YemensHouthi Ansarullah movement confirmed that Samad and six of his companions had lost their lives in the airstrike on Hudaydah last Thursday.
The Saudi-led war began in March 2015 in support of a former Riyadh-friendly Yemeni regime.
TheYemeni Ministry of Human Rightsannounced in astatementon March 25 that the Saudi-led war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured until then.
