Yemeni ballistic missile targets Saudi Aramco oil facility in Jizan: Report

Yemeni army forces, backed by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have fired a short-range domestically-manufactured ballistic missile at a Saudi Aramco facility in the kingdom’s southwestern region of Jizan, in retaliation for the Saudi regime’s campaign against the impoverished country, Yemeni media report.

However, Saudi media, citing the country’s military authorities, claimed that Saudi air defense systems had intercepted the missile in the skies over the region.
Meanwhile, Ansarullah news portal reported that the Yemeni army, backed by fighters from the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement, managed to shoot down a Saudi reconnaissance drone in the Valley of Jarrah in Jizan.
