Press TV - Yemen�s Ansarullah fighters�have launched a ballistic missile at Aramco storage tanks in Saudi Arabia's southwestern Jizan region.

According to Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah satellite television network, the missile was launched at the Saudi oil giant's storage facilities late on Wednesday.

Shortly after the announcement, the kingdom's state-run al-Ekhbariya�television network claimed that the missile was downed by the Saudi air defenses over the skies above the region.

The incident took place just a day after Yemeni fighters targeted a Saudi warship in retaliation to deadly airstrikes on the improvised country's province of Hudaydah.



The�Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights�announced in a�statement�on March 25 that the Saudi-led war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured during the past three years.

The United Nations says a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in need of food aid, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.

The Saudi aggression was launched in March 2015 in support of Yemen�s former Riyadh-friendly government and against the country�s Houthi Ansarullah movement, which has been running state�affairs in the absence of an effective administration.
