Saudis destroy missile launching base in Yemen Meanwhile, the Saudi Arabia-led military coalition in Yemen claimed to have destroyed a ballistic missile launch platform used to attack Riyadh.

According to him, preparations were going on for another attack on Saudi Arabia and the attack could be carried out soon. Military operation against Houthis continues in Yemen. The Yemen government is waging a military operation against Houthi rebels. Its objective is to regain the captured areas near Yemen and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The Yemen government is getting support from Saudi Arabia in this military operation. In September, the Houthis captured the rapidly growing city of Mocha on Yemen’s Red Sea coast and several key areas around the Bab al-Mandeb. Due to this, the Houthis’ hold on this strategic sea route was strengthened. But now the picture has changed. On October 5, Saudi-backed Yemeni forces launched a major counter-offensive against the Houthis. The Yemeni army claimed to have recaptured the Dhubab area and several important positions near Bab al-Mandeb. After this the army moved towards Mocha and the Yemeni government claimed to have taken back the city from the Houthis. According to Reuters, government forces have pushed the Houthis back from most of the areas they captured last month. Houthis claim – 11 missiles fired at government forces in Yemen According to Al Jazeera, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sari claimed that in the last 24 hours the organization attacked 11 positions of government forces in Yemen with ballistic missiles. According to Sarri, Yemeni government forces were targeted along key roads near Bab al-Mandeb. He claimed that these attacks resulted in dozens of casualties, including military commanders. Many vehicles were also destroyed. Separately, a Houthi spokesman claimed the organization also attacked the Saudi Arabia-backed Giants Brigades with ballistic missiles. According to him, more than 30 people were killed or injured in this attack. According to media reports, more than 270 government soldiers and Houthi fighters have died so far in this conflict. ————————————- Also read this news… People are facing flour crisis in Pakistan: 20 kg bag of flour reached Rs 3300, roti increased from Rs 20 to Rs 30.
