“I have not found this elsewhere. Propaganda piece?”

Yes, it appears likely to be some Baghdad Bob style propaganda exaggerations designed for the gullible at home and abroad. Notice how they failed to use the correct name for the Saudi air base, “Khamis Mushait air base” instead of the actual name, King Khalid Air Base (KMX). Also note how the article boasts about the massive destruction of an airbase and its aircraft, but only claims large numbers of Air Force casualties. In other words, the article is incompetent whether or not it is disinformation.

“At least 66 high-ranking Saudi army officers, including two senior commanders, were killed when the Yemeni missiles hit Khamis Mushait air base in Asir province in retaliation for the kingdom’s aggression against their nation.”
