A large number of Saudi soldiers has been killed in a Yemeni missile attack against a military base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern border region of Asir.

The unnamed Yemeni military force told al-Masirah News that the Yemeni army and their allies launched the ballistic missile at the al-Montazah base Tuesday killing scores of Saudi soldiers, mercenaries and two armored vehicles.

Following this attack, Yemeni and Houthi soldiers launched a barrage of artillery fire at the Mosallas al-Rakbah base in the Saudi Jizan region, resulting in a blaze that wiped out the military site.
