Yemeni late leader’s nephew leads military op on Houthi
Saudi air defences on Friday intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Jazan by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The attack hit a vehicle transporting 20 passengers south of Taiz province, locals told Reuters. Six bodies were identified, with numerous rest charred beyond recognition, according to residents.
The thwarted attack, the latest in a series of attempted missile strikes on the southern coastal city, was announced by the Saudi-led coalition fighting the rebels.
Yemen's dominant Houthi movement said its air defense forces shot down a USA -made fighter drone on Wednesday in the Yemeni Red Sea port city of Hodeidah.
The conflict escalated in 2015 when Saudi Arabia and its Sunni-Arab allies - who accuse the Houthis of serving as Iranian proxies - launched a massive air campaign in Yemen aimed at rolling back Houthi gains.
