🇾🇪🇸🇦 Ansarallah announced that they carried out a large-scale preemptive operation in southern Saudi Arabia. In a new statement, Ansarallah said that they carried out a "wide-scale preemptive military operation with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones" targeting command rooms, weapons depots and other Saudi military targets in the Al-Tuwal area and the Al-Dagharir area in Jizan province. They claim that hundreds of Sudanese, Saudi and Saudi-backed Yemeni mercenaries were killed or wounded in the attack and that several weapons depots were burned. ▪️ The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it intercepted six ballistic missiles launched by Ansarallah, as Saudi Civil Defense briefly issued danger alerts for Mecca, Jeddah, Yanbu, Tabuk, and Taif. ▪️ Separately, Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces claimed they had repelled an Ansarallah attack and several infiltration attempts near the road connecting Aden, Taiz, and Lahj. No independent confirmation of the account or reported losses was immediately available.
