The Yemeni army soldiers, supported by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have fired a domestically-designed and -developed ballistic missile at a position of Saudi-sponsored militiamen loyal to Yemen’s former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in the country’s western coastal province of Hudaydah.

The Yemeni missile force fired a ballistic missile (Badr1) onto the Saudi Economic City in Jizan after it had had struck the supply depots of the US-Saudi-led coalition on western coast with another ballistic missile.

A military source said that the Yemeni army forces also launched the projectile ,today noon, and that the short-range missile struck supply depots of the coalition paid fighters with great precision.The source, however, did not provide further information about possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.

Earlier in the day, Saudi military aircraft had bombarded a number of residential areas across Yemen, leaving 15 civilians dead in Hodeidah and Sa’ada provinces.

The leader of the Yemeni Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, on Saturday said Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are seeking to pave the way for Zionism to completely control the Red Sea.

In a statement, the leader said both Gulf states, which led a US-backed military coalition, are using the United Nations and its UN envoy as an umbrella to seize control the port city of Hodeidah through baseless justifications.

The leader’s statement came a day after the US-backed Saudi-led coalition forces launched a major assault on al-Tuhayta district in the western coast, south of Hodeidah port city.

Even if the UK warned against attacking the vital port of Hodeidah, we bear responsibility for the horrors of this war, according to a report issued by the Guardian on June 17.

A Yemeni source confirmed the continuation of military operations inside Saudi Arabia until the US-Saudi -led coalition against the Yemeni people stops.

The source said that launching ballistic missiles is a message comes as a response to the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen for four years, targeting civilians and the capabilities of the Yemeni, threatening the security, stability and unity of Yemen.

Hodeidah is Yemen’s main city on the Red Sea and, with a population of 600,000, the fourth-largest city in Yemen.The city’s seaport is the gateway for approximately 80 percent of essential food, medical and commercial supplies for Yemen. It has been under the control of the so caled Houthis , part of the Yemeni army forces, since 2014 but the Gulf coalition has imposed a blockade on the city since 2017.

The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights announced in a statement on March 25 that the US-Saudi-led coalition had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured since March 2015.
