The September 2015 Ma'rib tochka missile attack happened on day 4 of that month when the Yemeni army launched a OTR-21 Tochka ballistic missile against a military base in Safer, in Ma'rib Governorate. That base was being used by the Saudi-led coalition. The missile hit an ammunation dump, and that caused a huge explosion which inflicted tens of casualties among coalition troops. 52 UAE, 16 Saudi and 5 Bahraini soldiers were reportedly killed in the attack.
