Saudi Arabia’s state-run media claims to have intercepted the missile, but other sources indicate that a fire has broken out and ambulances were dispatched to the scene. Indicating that a missile did indeed hit its target accurately. Saudi state-run media is notorious for down-playing any casualties or military losses in Yemen due to embarrassment.

Just days ago, Yemeni forces successfully struck an oil refinery deep within Saudi Arabia with a long range ballistic missile. Yemeni forces also frequently strike Saudi-coalition Navy ships, fighter jets, and vehicles.

Yesterday, head of Yemen’s Supreme Revolutionary Committee, President Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, urged Saudi Arabia to lift the devastating siege and end aggression against Yemen. Promising that if they don’t, more retaliatory attacks on valuable targets will follow.
