SANA’A (Dispatches) –
Saudi-led coalition warplanes have carried out heavy bombing raids on various neighborhoods in the capital Sana’a and other provinces across Yemen as part of its recent escalation of the war on the impoverished nation.
They launched five raids on al-Hasabah area, two raids on al-Thawrah district and a raid on Bani-Hushaish district in Sana’a in the early hours of Tuesday, Yemen’s al-Masirah television reported. ‘
According to the network, the warplanes also launched several raids in Ta’izz, Ma’rib, and al-Jawf provinces.
The airstrikes came hours after Yemen carried out a military operation against strategically important targets deep inside the UAE in retaliation for the Persian Gulf country’s increased involvement in the Saudi-led war and all-out siege on the country.
The spokesman for Yemeni armed forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said sensitive facilities in the Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi were targeted with ballistic missiles. Yemeni forces also hit important targets in Dubai with drones.
The operation came as Isaac Herzog visited Abu Dhabi in the first visit by a Zionist president to the UAE.
Ahead of the visit, Herzog had pledged to support the UAE in its military campaign against Yemen.
Mahdi al-Mashat, who heads Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, warned the UAE Monday against continuing its aggression against the Yemeni people, saying persisting in military action, blockade and efforts to occupy Yemeni territories will endanger the UAE’s economy and investment in the country.
Mashat said the recent missile and drone attacks deep inside the tiny Persian Gulf country demonstrated the Yemeni army’s resolve in delivering on its warnings.
“We had previously warned that the continuation of UAE aggression, siege, and occupation would pose risks to the economy and investment in it, and we affirm today that Operation Storm-3 exposed our ability and determination to implement what we have warned of,” he said.
The official stressed that the U.S. and the Zionist regime cannot protect the aggressors from retaliatory attacks.
Saudi Arabia launched the war on Yemen in March 2015 with the participation of the UAE and other countries and extensive military support of the United States and the Europeans.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
Despite heavily-armed Saudi Arabia’s incessant bombardment of the impoverished country, the Yemeni armed forces have gradually grown stronger, leaving Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
