Yemen Issues New Warning After Saudi Strike Kills 44 Civilians

 

 

SANA'A – Yemen's Armed Forces renewed their warning on Monday to Saudi citizens and foreign companies to stay away from facilities designated as military targets, as Sana'a signaled that its retaliatory operations against the kingdom will continue following a weekend of deadly exchanges.

A military source told the Sana'a-based Saba news agency that employees and anyone present at or near facilities identified as targets by the Yemeni Armed Forces should keep their distance to avoid endangering their lives.

The source said companies from nations that have not participated in the aggression against Yemen will be spared from targeting provided they disclose the locations of their investments inside Saudi territory, and that companies that have informed the relevant authorities in Sana'a of their desire to depart and cease their investments in Saudi Arabia will have the exit of their assets facilitated and be provided with all necessary assistance.

The warning was issued a day after military spokesman Yahya Saree announced four operations using ballistic and cruise missiles and drones targeting King Khalid International Airport, Aramco oil tanks and the financial center in Riyadh, as well as an Aramco facility in Abqaiq.

Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry confirmed material damage to an Aramco building in Riyadh, but claimed it limited even as images of a large hole on the tower circulated in the media.

The escalation follows a Saudi strike on the village of Bani Hushaysh, east of Sanaa, which health authorities said killed 44 people and wounded 40, according to Al-Masirah television.

The broadcaster said rescue teams were continuing to search for missing people beneath the rubble, warning that the death toll could rise because several of the wounded remained in critical condition. It also reported that the area had been struck repeatedly while paramedics and media crews were present.

Saree said Saudi forces have carried out 91 airstrikes and missile attacks across six governorates in 24 hours, bringing the total number of strikes since the war restarted to 4,460.  

Saudi Arabia continued its air campaign on Monday morning, with Yemeni media reporting that the kingdom’s aircraft struck a factory in Hudaydah province and a school in Lahij province.  

In the south, the Saudi-backed fugitive regime in Aden has suspended full cabinet meetings following repeated missile attacks targeting government institutions, according to two officials cited by The New Arab.

The last full cabinet meeting took place on October 11. Yemeni forces based in Sana’a have repeatedly targeted the fugitive regime’s targets with ballistic missiles and drones.

The Saudi war has also drawn in external actors. According to AFP, thousands of takfiri terrorists in Syria are set to deploy to Saudi Arabia and Yemen, with some already on the ground.

A source from the Saudi-backed fugitive regime said the takfiri regime in Syria would send around 3,000 fighters to join the Saudi war, with the arrangement greenlit during Syria’s de facto president Abu Muhammad al-Jolani’s visit to Riyadh.

The source said the agreement would provide for the deployment of more than 10,000 takfiri terrorists in total, with the remainder to be sent in later stages.

The deployment would mark the first foreign boots on the ground to get involved in the Saudi war on Yemen since it flared up over the summer, according to the report.
