Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters and allied army units have launched a retaliatory attack against Saudi Arabia.
A Yemeni TV station says the forces have launched a ballistic missile at an airport in the Saudi city of Jeddah. So far, there has been no report of casualties. Saudi Arabia says its defense system has intercepted a missile fired from the Yemeni province of Sa’ada. But some reports say the missile has hit the airport and a state of emergency has been announced in Jeddah. The attacks by the Yemeni forces are in response to Saudi Arabia’s aggression against the war-torn country. Saudi war on Yemen has claimed the lives of more than 10100 people, most of them civilians, since March 2015.
The spokesman of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement Mohammad Abdol Salam considered that the Saudi claims of intercepting a Yemeni ballistic missile 65 km away from the holy city of Mecca reflect KSA’s failure throughout its bloody war on the Yemenis.
“The Saudis, who aim to hide their atrocities in Yemen, expressed mere hallucinations which can never be believed by sane people.”
Abdol Salam added that the Yemenis’ commitment to their Islam and Arabism is uncontroversial, noting that despite all the Saudi Massacres, the Yemeni forces have not targeted civilian installations as well as holy sites.
For his part the spokesman of the Yemeni army, General Sharaf Ghaleb Lokman, asserted that firing the ballistic missile onto King Abdulaziz International Airport was successful and achieved its goals.
Rocketry force in the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees fired late on Thursday a ballistic missile, “Burkan-1”, at Saudi airport in Jeddah.
