| [Iran Press TV] The Yemeni army has fired as many as 12 rockets at a Saudi military base in the southwestern Saudi province of Jizan. Yemeni army forces, backed by popular committees, targeted the Saudi military base of al-Doud and the area surrounding it in Jizan late on Wednesday. There has been no immediate report on the casualties or material damage caused by the rocket attacks. The rocket attacks by the Yemeni army were in response to Saudi aggression against several areas across the impoverished Arab country. Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage.

A Shia Moslem holy man, identified as Allameh Homaizah, and five members of his family, including two children and a woman, were killed in the aerial attack.

Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the UN envoy for Yemen, called for an immediate ceasefire in Yemen, saying that some 21 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and one million people have been displaced in the fighting in the country. "It is imperative for all the parties -- and for me everybody is responsible -- to find a truce," the envoy told news hounds. He further called for the ceasefire to take hold before the end of Ramadan on July 17, adding that the Arab country is on the brink of famine. "We are one step away from famine," the UN envoy said, adding, "We want to really find a way to lessen the suffering of the population." |
