Yemen’s Armed Forces targeted Saudi military deployments in the Mokha area and Marib province with several ballistic missiles and drones, according to a military source cited by Yemen’s state-run Saba news agency.

The source said the strikes were accurate and directly hit their targets, resulting in several deaths and injuries and destroying several weapons and storage facilities belonging to Saudi forces.

The Armed Forces have continued targeting Saudi military deployments in recent weeks as part of a campaign to break the blockade imposed on Yemen for more than a decade.

The operation comes amid heightened tensions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, with the Yemeni Armed Forces repeatedly warning that Saudi military movements and buildups will be met with direct retaliation. Sana'a has framed its recent military actions as part of a broader strategy aimed at deterring further Saudi escalation and pressuring Riyadh to end its blockade and military campaign.

The latest operation also follows a series of Yemeni strikes targeting Saudi military positions and concentrations, as well as maritime measures against Saudi-linked shipping. Yemeni authorities have said they will continue monitoring Saudi military activity and respond to preparations for further attacks, while maintaining the blockade-for-blockade and escalation-for-escalation equation.
