The Yemeni army and popular forces targeted and pounded Saudi Arabia’s military base in the Southern part of the kingdom. Saudi Arabia’s Rajla military base in Najran province was destroyed in Yemen’s Samoud ballistic missile attack. A Yemeni military source confirmed that the Samoud missile precisely hit Rajla military base. Several Saudi-led coalition troops were killed and wounded in the missile attack.

In relevant remarks on Monday, Deputy Spokesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces Colonel Aziz Rashid warned that the Saudi bases, airports and ports in the Eastern region of Dammam would be the next target of Yemen’s missiles. Rashid noted that the Yemeni ballistic missile attacks on Riyadh indicate the army and popular committees’ high missile power, and said as long as the Saudi-led coalition pounds the Yemeni nation, ballistic missiles will be used against the Saudi targets. He also warned that in case Riyadh launches attacks against the ports in Yemen, the Yemeni army and popular committees would launch operations deep inside Saudi Arabia.

His remarks came after the official spokesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Sharq Luqman, underlined that the country is in possession of advanced missiles which can hit the Saudi capital. “We have been able to develop our weapons and make progress so that they can hit the Saudi capital,” Luqman told al-Mayadeen news channel on Monday. Noting that Borkan-2 missile was the first missile which could target King Salman airbase, he said that new missiles are underway. Luqman said that after hitting Riyadh, the war in Yemen will enter a new stage and all equations will change.

Reports said earlier this month that Yemen’s popular forces and their allies in the country’s army fired a long-range ballistic missile at an airbase in the Saudi capital Riyadh, marking the second such attack on the city. The Borkan-2 missile accurately struck King Salman Air Base.

The source noted that al-Qavieh and al-Beit al-Abyaz military bases in Jizan province also came under Yemeni army attacks.
