The December 2015 Taiz missile attack was a strike carried out by the pro-Saleh Yemeni Army and Houthi militants with a Tochka ballistic 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 numerous casualties on the coalition forces.[1] Reports said that there were 152 casualties[4] in the camp, including 23 Saudi, 18 Sudanese, 9 Moroccan, and 7 Emirati servicemen reportedly killed.[5] Large amounts of military material were destroyed, including vehicles and air-defense systems. In addition, Houthi militants claimed to have killed at least 40 mercenaries of the Academi private military company in the missile strike.[5]
