The Armed Forces announced that it had targeted sensitive sites in the Saudi enemy’s capital, Riyadh, and targeted Aramco in Yanbu with a large number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.
The official spokesperson for the Armed Forces confirmed in a statement, Saturday, that the Armed Forces had carried out two qualitative military operations using a large number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones. The first targeted sensitive sites in the Saudi enemy’s capital, Riyadh, while the second targeted Aramco in Yanbu.
He explained that, with the help of Allah Almighty, the two operations were successful and led to the outbreak of massive fires at the targeted sites.
He pointed out that the two operations came as part of the response to the great falsehood of accusing Yemen of faith and wisdom of targeting the Holy Makkah, and in defense of it against the offense committed toward it by the Qarun of the age, the horn of the devil, the Saudi Najdi. He added that the two operations also came as part of the response to the continued aggression by the criminal Saudi enemy, which has carried out hostile airstrikes against our dear people using its F-15 and Typhoon fighter aircraft, taking off from the Khamis Mushait and Taif air bases. These attacks have so far reached 732 airstrikes, leaving civilians dead and wounded and causing destruction to civilian infrastructure.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree also affirmed that the two operations came as part of the response to attempts by the criminal Saudi enemy to target the capital, Sana’a, through Daesh-style methods and means, including attempted bombings targeting civilians without distinction or exception.
He stated that what the Saudi enemy’s media outlets are promoting through false propaganda, claiming that we target civilians, has no basis in truth, adding that, if such incidents occur, they are the result of failed interceptions carried out by the Saudi enemy’s defenses.
He renewed his confirmation that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to impose the equation of blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation, and to target the enemy’s mobilizations until the aggression is halted and the blockade on our dear country is ended.
