Houthis Claim Missile Strikes on Saudi Forces in Aden, Lahij


Date:

(MENAFN) Yemen's Houthi group claimed Monday that it had carried out two missile attacks against Saudi forces and weapons storage facilities in the southern provinces of Aden and Lahij, according to a statement from the group's spokesman.

Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said in a post on the US social media platform X that the attacks targeted military positions in Aden's Salah al-Din area and the Al-Wahat area of Lahij.

Saree claimed that several ballistic missiles were launched and accurately hit their intended targets, “resulting in dozens of dead and wounded … the destruction and incineration of a number of vehicles and weapons depots.”

He further alleged that Saudi officer Badr al-Harbi was overseeing the targeted military positions and assets.

The announcement followed an earlier Houthi missile launch toward Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital. The Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted and destroyed the ballistic missile.
