Yemen revenges against renewed Saudi aggression by firing missiles at Riyadh
Yemen-Press The Yemeni forces, supported by the Popular Committees, claimed responsibility yesterday for the missile strikes in Saudi Arabia that a spokesman described as the “largest military operation” ever undertaken in response to the escalation by the “aggression coalition”.

Brigadier General Yahya Sarie made his comments following Saturday’s ballistic missile attacks on the Saudi capital Riyadh and the southern city of Jizan. Reuters cited Saudi state media as reporting that two missiles were intercepted by air defense systems, resulting in “debris scattering on some residential areas”.

However, that claim by Saudi military spokesman Turki Al-Malki contradicts statements made by Sarie, who said that Sammad-3 drones and Zulfiqar short-range ballistic missiles struck designated targets in the Saudi capital.

Sarie added that the Yemeni army used Qasef-2k drones and launched Badr short-range ballistic missiles to strike economic and military sites in Saudi’s Jizan, Najran and Asir border regions.

Historically, these areas were part of Yemen.

The attacks represent the first major assault on the Kingdom since last September’s attacks on Aramco oil facilities.

On Thursday, the leader of the Ansarullah movement, Mr Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, vowed that the Saudi-led coalition will witness new “advanced military capabilities” not seen before.

Sarie said that more information on the operation will be released in the coming days.

After 5 years, Saudi Arabia is finally on the verge of defeat in Yemen

Yesterday, the head of Yemen's National Negotiation Delegation, Mohammed Abdulsalam, affirmed that there was no option left for the military but to respond to continued Saudi aggression and thus “defend the dignity of the nation”.

His remarks came after the UN envoy for Yemen, Martin Griffiths, said that he was “gravely dismayed and disappointed” following the retaliatory attacks in Saudi.

This prompted criticism from Yemen's ambassador to Iran, Ibrahim Mohammad al-Dailami, who tweeted: “As before, the UN envoy is in the habit of adopting double standards by condemning the victim and exonerating the executioner and inverting reality.”

As of today, there have been reports that the Saudi-led coalition has carried out air strikes on the Yemeni capital Sana'a.
