Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced a number of new military operations against Saudi targets in response to the ongoing aggression on Yemen.
What follows is the full text of the statement:
In response to the brutal Saudi aggression against our country and our people, which launched 124 airstrikes in the past 24 hours, targeting the capital Sana’a and the governorates of Taiz, Ma’rib, Al-Jawf, Hajjah, Al-Hudaydah, and Sa’dah, bringing the total number of airstrikes since the beginning of the escalation against our country up to 2,058, committing massacres against our people, the majority of whose victims are women and children.
With Allah’s help, the Armed Forces carried out four qualitative operations in the past 24 hours using ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.
The first operation targeted in three phases King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh starting the evening before last, resulting in the disruption of air traffic and the complete closure of the airport.
The second operation targeted the Shugadam gas facility belonging to Aramco in the Eastern Province, and the strike was accurate, thanks be to Allah, and resulted in large fires breaking out at the targeted site.
The third operation targeted the Aramco Tanajib oil refinery in the Eastern Province. The strike was also accurate, thanks be to Allah, and resulted an ignition in it.
The fourth operation targeted King Fahd International Airport in Dammam. The strike was direct and resulted in the disruption of air traffic at the airport.
In another development, our armed forces carried out a precise targeting operation against Saudi enemy buildups in the Ras al-Ara and al-Saqiya areas with six ballistic missiles and two drones, and the strikes were accurate, thanks be to Allah, and resulted in killing and wounding dozens of the enemy troops.
Meanwhile, our armed forces engaged with several Saudi military arial formations with a large number of locally manufactured surface-to-air missiles, forcing them to retreat, thanks be to Allah.
We reiterate our warning to all international companies, experts, employees, workers, and travelers from all over the world to not operate flights to Saudi airports, as they are unsafe, except for the airports and airspace of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue their escalating operations deep inside Saudi, imposing the equation of “a blockade for a blockade” and “an escalation for an escalation” and targeting Saudi enemy reinforcements until the aggression ceases and the siege on our dear people is lifted.
