The December 2015 Taiz missile attack was a strike made by the pro-Saleh Yemeni Army and the Houthis with a ballistic Tochka missile, against a military camp that was being used by troops of the Saudi-led coalition, south-west of the city of Taiz. The strike inflicted tens of casualties on coalition ranks,[1] 150 casualties were reported. That figure includes 23 Saudi, 16-18 Sudanese, 9 Moroccan and 7 Emirati servicemen reported killed in the attack.[3] Houthi militants also claim to have killed at least 42 mercenaries of the Blackwater Private military company in the missile strike.[3]
