Yemen's Houthi rebels have launched a ballistic missile attack on Saudi Arabia. Two people were injured in the attack. One of them is Bangladeshi. Arab News reported this information.
The Saudi-led military coalition said on Sunday that a ballistic missile fired by Houthi rebels hit the Ahad al-Masarihah industrial area of the country's (Saudi) Zayn. Apart from a Bangladeshi, a Sudanese national was also injured in the missile attack. However, their injuries were not reported to be serious. Arab News did not give the names or addresses of the two injured in the attack. The same attack damaged several workshops and civilian vehicles. The Saudi alliance has called the attack, carried out by Houthi rebels in Yemen, "vicious and brutal." They said they would resist such an attack. This is the third time that Houthi rebels have targeted civilians in various industrial areas in southwestern Saudi Arabia. A statement from the Saudi coalition said Monday morning that it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Houthis. The place from which it was thrown has also been destroyed.
The Saudi alliance said yesterday that it had destroyed two drones sent from Yemen.
Yemen, one of the world's poorest countries, has been embroiled in a civil war for some time. In late 2014, Houthi rebels ousted Yemeni President Mansour Hadi and seized control of the capital, Sanaa. The Saudi-led military coalition launched a military operation against the Houthis in March 2015. However, they have not been able to defeat the Houthis so far. The Houthis, on the other hand, are targeting Saudi Arabia. Canadian music star Justin Bieber and French DJ David Guetta recently sang at a concert in Saudi Arabia. However, many called on them not to travel to Saudi Arabia on issues such as human rights violations and freedom of expression. A wind of change is blowing in Saudi Arabia now. Critics of the country have long spoken of change. But the funny thing is, when that change is happening, they can't applaud it. Those who are now critical of why Saudi Arabia is not undergoing rapid change must understand the nature of the major changes that have begun there. The country's history and relations must also have an idea. Saudi leaders do not need to take these criticisms into account. But those who are the masterminds of the country's transformation need to reconcile the concerns and aspirations of different levels of society. This is not an easy task at all. The hopes and aspirations of the young generation of Saudi Arabia and the growing global mindset must be acknowledged and responded to. In the same way, the sentiments of the conservative section of a deeply religious society must be respected.A statement from the Saudi coalition said Monday morning that it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Houthis.
