Saudi jets attacked a popular market in the port city of Mokha on Wednesday evening, leaving four people dead and eleven others injured.
Yemeni army troops retaliated by firing an OTR-21 Tochka missile at the strategic al-Anad Air Base housing Saudi-led forces in Yemen's Lahij province. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Yemen's army spokesman Brigadier General Sharaf Luqman said the missile was launched following a tip-off that pro-Saudi troops inside the base were planning an attack on Ta’izz.
Yemeni forces also launched a number of OTR-21 Tochka missiles at Saudi military positions in Yemen's Jawf province.
"Saudis, the Emiratis and others are the pawns that are serving the interests of the United States and Israel, Houthi said."
On Wednesday, leader of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi lashed out Saudi Arabia, saying the kingdom's policies are the same as those of the US and Israel, "which seek to crush the Muslim Ummah without paying any price."
Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March. More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since March, abna24 reported.
