Yemeni forces strike Saudi power plant with cruise missile
Yemeni forces have targeted a power plant in Jizan province southwest of Saudi Arabia using a cruise missile in retaliation for the Riyadh regime's deadly war on their country.
The missile hit the power plant in al-Shuqaiq area on Wednesday night, al-Masirah TV quoted spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree as saying.
He also said the attack "came in response to the continuing crimes and blockade of the Saudi-led coalition," and vowed more attacks against "vital facilities in Saudi Arabia."
“There are still major surprises coming, God willing, through which we target more sensitive positions of the Saudi regime if it continues to escalate the aggression,” the spokesman of the armed forces said.
The Yemenis' attacks against major Saudi facilities and infrastructure have intensified in recent weeks.
In another development on Wednesday, the Yemeni forces managed to intercept and shoot down a Saudi spy drone in Najran region.
Earlier this month, another Saudi drone had been shot down over Yemen. The drone was a US-made MQ-9 Reaper.
The Saudi air force launched a series of airstrikes on the wreckage of the drone to destroy it before it fell to the hands of the Yemeni fighters.
Yemeni forces seem to have developed a sophisticated air defense network to fight off Riyadh's drone raids.
They downed an MQ-1 Predator last month, another US-made drone, using a surface-to-air missile.

Yemeni air defenses down yet another US-made Saudi attack drone
Yemen has successfully targeted an attack drone belonging to Saudi Arabia, as the country continues to develop a deterrence against Riyadh's continued drone raids and surveillance flights over cities and civilian targets.
The Yemeni Army and Popular Committees downed the drone on Thursday afternoon in al-Jabaliyah in the country's west coast.
A source in the Air Defense unit told the al-Masirah news network that the drone was a US-made MQ-9 Reaper.
