Alwaght- Yemeni forces have attacked and destroyed another Saudi warship of the Red Sea coast in the country’s southwestern waters in a response to the relentless Saudi bombardment of the war torn country.
According to a Saturday report of Yemen’s al-Masirah TV, the warship was successfully targeted by the country’s Ansarullah movement and the allied army units as it was sailing off the coast of Mocha in the Red Sea.
The allied Yemeni forces managed to sink the warship hours after two Saudi boats were destroyed in the same area by rounds of Katyusha rockets fired by the allied forces.
Masirah said the Saudi warship was completely destroyed in the Saturday attack, adding that it was the fourth naval ship belonging to the regime in Riyadh and its allies that have been sunk over the past months. Saudi Arabia has deployed its vessels around the coasts of Yemen in an attempt to support its airstrikes and to maintain a crippling blockade on the most impoverished Arab state in the region.
Elsewhere Yemeni forces also regained control over several towns and mountain ranges in Lahj, Taiz and other provinces after expelling al-Qaeda terrorists and launched a rocketry attack on a military site in the Saudi city of Jizan.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for eight months now to restore power to fugitive president Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed over 7100 Yemenis, mostly innocent civilians including hundreds of women and children.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah resistance fighters, who are warding off the foreign occupation of their country, Saudi warplanes are indiscriminately targeting residential areas and civilian infrastructure.
