The Houthis targeted early on September 6 a “key military target” near the city of Khamis Mushait in the southern Saudi province of ‘Asir, a spokesman for the Yemeni group announced.
“It was a direct hit … This strike comes as a response to the crimes of the aggression, its ongoing siege and its continues airstrikes,” Brig. Gen. Yahya Sari said.
Several Qasef-2K unnamed aerial vehicles (UAVs) were reportedly used in the attack. Qasef-2K is believed to be a copy of the Iranian Ababil-2 UAV.

A day earlier, the Houthis launched several Qasef-2 UAVs at King Khalid Air Base in Saudi Arabia’s southern region. The Yemeni group also targeted Najran Regional Airport with several local-made Badir-1 artillery rockets.
The results of these attacks remain unclear. The Saudi-led coalition claimed that its units intercepted two Houthi UAVs on September 5. However, the coalition has not commented on the other attacks, so far.
