New Yemeni missile and drone strikes hit King Khalid Air Base in Saudi Arabia
[HodhodYemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
News] Yemen’s Armed Forces conducted new missile and dronezaps on Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors.

, hitting sensitive targets at King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait, in the southern part of the Kingdom.

The Yemeni Armed Forces issued the following Statement:

"In response to the brutal Saudi aggression targeting our country and our people, and in light of the significant escalation they are carrying out by launching more than 300 Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in the past five days with saudi warplanes F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets, launched from Khamis Mushait and Taif airbases, targeted most Yemeni provinces.

By the grace of Allah, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a large-scale, qualitative military operation targeting military facilities and infrastructure, including aircraft hangars, radar installations, runways, ammunition depots, and other targets at King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait. Dozens of ballistic missiles and drones were used, and the strikes were precise and direct, thanks to Allah’s power and might.

The operation inflicted significant losses on the base, by the grace of Allah. The Armed Forces will continue their qualitative military operations deep inside Saudi Arabia as long as the unjust aggression against our people continues. Any new aggression will be met with broader and more intense operations, Allah’s willing.

We will continue to uphold the equation of a siege for a siege and escalation with escalation, targeting Saudi troop buildups until the aggression ceases and the siege on our beloved country is lifted."
Saudi authorities sounded sirens on Sunday afternoon in the southern city of Abha and Khamis Mushait province, warning residents to take shelter from potential incoming fire. Both areas, near the border with Yemen, were repeatedly attacked by the Houthis in recent weeks.

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said on Tuesday that 13 civilians were injured in attacks by the Iran-aligned Houthis on the Saudi cities of Khamis Mushait, Abha and Taif the day before. # id) ?>
