Houthis fire missile at army camp east of Sanaa

Monitoring Desk

SANAA: Houthi rebels on Thursday fired a “ballistic missile” at a military camp in Yemen’s Maarib province east of capital Sanaa, according to a Yemeni military source.

The source, speaking anonymously due to restrictions on speaking to media, said the missile had targeted eastern Maarib’s Al-Ruweik military camp. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, vice president of Yemen’s internationally recognized government (now based in the port city of Aden), had been visiting the camp — alo-ng with several Yemeni military officials — at the time of the attack, the source said.

According to the same source, the missile fell to earth close to the camp without exploding or causing casualties. Earlier Thursday, Houthi spokesmen appeared to confirm the missile launch, according to Yemen’s Houthi-run Saba News Agency.

“The Al-Ruweik camp was targeted after surveillance operations revealed the presence there of large concentrations of mercenaries and invaders,” the news agency quoted a Houthi spokesman as saying in reference to Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces.
