The Yemeni army, backed by popular committee forces, has launched tens of rockets towards Saudi Arabia's southwestern cities of Jizan and Najran.

The attacks, which targeted several camps and military bases in the two cities on Friday night, were carried out in response to Riyadh’s unabated military campaign against the Yemeni people.

No report has yet been released on the possible casualties of the retaliatory attacks.

At least 30 Saudis have been killed since the Yemenis started their rocket and mortar raids on Saudi border areas in early May. Several tanks and armored vehicles belonging to the Saudi army have been destroyed in the offensives.

The developments come as the Saudi military presses ahead with its aerial raids that started on March 26.

The Saudi aggression is aimed at undermining Yemen’s Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement, who are in control of Sana’a and other major provinces, and bringing back to power the former pro-Riyadh government led by the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The United Nation says at least 2,300 people have been killed and 7,330 injured due to the conflict in the Arabian Peninsula country since March 19.

At least five people have been killed and over 40 injured in the latest Saudi airstrikes on the war-torn country of Yemen.

The attacks, which targeted an area south of the capital city of Sana’a, took place early on Saturday.

No further details were released about the casualties of the airstrikes.

Saudi warplanes also pounded the presidential palace in Sana’a. On Friday, Saudi airstrikes killed more than 20 in Sa’ada province.

The violent Saudi campaign started without a UN mandate on March 26 in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which currently controls Sana’a and some major provinces, and to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

At least 2,300 people have been killed and 7,330 others wounded due to the conflict in the impoverished Arab country since March 19, according to the United Nations.
