Yemeni Forces Target Saudi Battleship off Mokha Coast
2015-12-29
[ALMANAR.LB] Yemeni army and popular committees have succeeded in attacking a Saudi-led coalition battleship off the coast of Mokha on Sunday.

The Yemeni forces launched a ballistic Qaher 1 missile at a Saudi National Guard camp in the Ariseh area in Najran.
But what about the Battleship? Which one was it? The Idaho? The Galactica?
A military source said the missile hit its target with high accuracy, pointing out it had targeted a gathering of military vehicles.

On the other hand, Yemeni Saba agency announced that a number of gangs leaders, affiliated with the coalition aggression forces, were killed and others were maimed in a rocket attack against their gathering at the presidential palace in Ma'rib city and Salb Mount (Jabal Salb).

since late March. More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since March.

The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country's facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools and factories.
Added at 1130 ET: Per Wiki, the Soddi Royal Navy has a half-dozen frigates, of two classes, one just under 5,000 tons and the other at about 2100 tons. They also have several corvettes, about nine patrol boats, and several minesweepers. All are fairly modern, and most of the ships are either US- or French-built.
