MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Al Masirah broadcaster, the rebels said that the attack was a response to the continued shelling of different areas in Yemen by the Saudi Air Force. It was noted that the missile has accurately hit the target, yet no data on casualties or damage was released.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries have been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at Hadi's request despite a ceasefire agreed in April.
On Thursday, media reported that the talks between Yemen's Houthi rebels and the government delegation will reconvene in Kuwait on July 16. In late June, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmad announced that the UN-brokered talks to end the Yemeni conflict, which started in Kuwait on April 21, were suspended and would resume in July.
