Yemeni army troopers, backed by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have hit military sites in Saudi Arabia's southwestern region of Asir, using a squadron of domestically-manufactured Qasef-2K (Striker-2K) combat drones.
The spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said in a brief statement that the unmanned aerial vehicles struck with great precision the designated targets in King Khalid Air Base, which lies 884 kilometers south of the capital Riyadh, on Thursday afternoon.
Saree added that retaliatory attacks will continue as long as the Riyadh regime continues its military aggression, siege and relentless raids against the war-torn Arab country.
The development came shortly after Yemeni missile units and fighters from Popular Committees fired a number of domestically-manufactured Badr-1 ballistic missiles at Najran Regional Airport and some units of the Royal Saudi Land Forces.
Saree said the projectiles brought air traffic in and out of the airport to a halt, adding that ambulances were reported to be rushing to the scene.
