The Houthi military said it launched approximately 10 ballistic missiles targeting military camps in Yemen that are associated with the Saudi-led coalition. The report, cited by Israeli media, did not provide details on casualties or damage.
On Friday morning, the Houthi military reported firing approximately 10 ballistic missiles at military camps in Yemen aligned with the Saudi-led coalition, according to Israeli media. The report, cited by ynet, did not specify targets, impacts, or casualties. The new salvo comes after a series of Houthi strikes against Saudi-backed forces in eastern Yemen over the past 24 hours.
In a series of dispatches published on Thursday night (23:54 Jerusalem), The Zioneer traced the evolution of the previous night's attacks. Initial reports, from a single source aligned with the Shia axis, described Houthi strikes and ground battles in Marib province. Within the same update, two security analysts reported ballistic missile strikes targeting pro-Saudi militia gatherings. The reports then specified that 17 soldiers and officers had been killed in an attack on a Saudi-backed Yemeni base, and Yemen's government officially confirmed the 17 fatalities, though the figure has not been independently verified. The corroboration thus progressed from a single unconfirmed channel to official government acknowledgment.
As The Zioneer reported on Thursday afternoon (14:45 Jerusalem), the Houthi military spokesman had announced a large-scale operation utilizing ballistic missiles and drones against Saudi military camps and troop concentrations in eastern Yemen. That announcement followed reports of a lethal strike on the Al-Ruwaik base, which local sources and regional media claimed killed at least 30 to 40 people and wounded over 100 others. The current salvo appears to be part of this ongoing campaign, though the specific connection between Thursday's reported operation and Friday's new wave remains unclear.
The Friday report has not been independently verified. The exact targets, impact sites, and any casualties are unknown. It is also unclear whether this salvo represents a new phase of the operation or a continuation of the strikes reported overnight.
