Yemen Fires Ballistic Missile at Terrorists in West
SANAA (Dispatches) – Yemeni army forces fired a domestically-manufactured ballistic missile at a gathering of Saudi-backed terrorists near the western coast city of Hudaydah.
The ballistic missile hit a military camp belonging to the terrorists in the western coast front, inflicting major losses on them, a military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Saba news agency.
Since June 13, the Saudi-led coalition and its mercenaries have launched massive attacks to bring Hudaydah under their control but have failed to achieve their objective due to Yemenis’ resistance.
The United States, Britain and France have backed the coalition in the Yemen conflict and keep providing weapons to both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
While the Yemeni army and popular committees are fighting off the assailants and countering attacks on residential areas, humanitarian organizations have warned that the Saudi-led coalition's Hudaydah operation threatens to cut off essential supplies to millions of Yemeni people. More than 70 percent of Yemen’s imports pass through Hudaydah’s docks.
Meanwhile, media reports said on Tuesday that the UAE military forces stationed in southern Yemen have been abducting and raping young Yemeni women and girls.
The Arabic-language al-Morasel news website reported that two Yemeni girls, both under 20 years of age, have been kidnapped and raped by the security forces of the UAE in the past week.
The parents of the two girls have received life threats from the UAE troops to keep mum about the incident.
According to the report, the UAE forces lead a gang of the loyal security forces who abduct young Yemeni girls and women and surrender them to the UAE military officers "for partying".
Other Arab media outlets have been releasing similar reports in the last few months.
Relevant reports said last month that hundreds of detainees had been sexually abused at a jail in Southern Yemen believed to be run by the United Arab Emirates, according to several witnesses.
Fifteen officers who arrived at Beir Ahmed prison in Aden hid their faces behind their headdresses, but their accents were clearly identifiable as from the UAE, Associated Press reported.
