Saudi Warship Destroyed near Yemen’s Ta’izz: Report

The Yemen army, backed by Popular Committees loyal to the Houthi Ansarullah movement, destroyed a Saudi warship in the waters near the southwestern province of Ta’izz, media reports said Sunday.

According to local media reports on Sunday, the Yemeni forces targeted the vessel, which had regularly been shelling Yemeni coastal villages, with rockets.

Reports said that the warship was set ablaze due to the Yemeni rocket attacks and sank.

After the incident, Saudi warplanes and naval vessels several times bombarded the coastal area in the district of Mukha in the province.

Saudi warplanes also bombarded other provinces in the impoverished Arab country. In one of the airstrikes on the Yemeni province of Sana’a, at least four civilians, including three children, were killed. The Saudi fighter jets also bombarded a foodstuff factory in the province, Press TV reported.
