Yemenis Destroy Saudi Warships, Spy Drone in Revenge Attacks

Yemenis Destroy Saudi Warships, Spy Drone in Revenge Attacks

Alwaght-Saudi regime’s army continues to suffer humiliation at the hands of Yemeni forces with four of its warships and a spy drone being destroyed in recent retaliatory attacks.

Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah TV website reported that Yemeni forces targeted and destroyed four Saudi warships with surface-to-surface missiles in the early hours of Thursday, when they were approaching the port city of Mocha, located in the country’s southwestern province of Tai'z.

Meanwhile Yemeni forces shot down a Saudi spy aircraft on Wednesday in the northwestern province of Hajjah.

According to Yemen's al-Masirah TV website, the Yemeni forces managed to shoot down the aircraft in the Harad district of the province.

The downing of the spy aircraft comes a few days after the Yemeni troops fired a surface-to-air missile at another Saudi spy aircraft in Sa’ada Province.

The operations were carried out in revenge to continued Saudi aggression and atrocities in Yemen.

Meanwhile the Yemeni  army and popular committees have destroyed nine Saudi military vehicles in Mareb province.

Almost nine Saudi military vehicles, including two tanks, were blown up by the army and popular committees while repelling an attempt of the Riyadh's mercenaries to advance on Wadi al-Melh, eastern of Serwah district in the province, a military official said.

In spite of the accompanied heavy air cover of the Saudi war jets, the heroes of the army and popular committees repulsed the Saudi aggression's hirelings and kill many of them, he added.

Elsewhere, at least 15 people were killed and more than 18 others were injured in an initial toll of Saudi airstrikes on Amran Cement Factory on Wednesday.

A local official explained to Saba that this toll may rise because of the intense air raids, which left large destruction in the factory.

The official pointed out that the hostile warplanes waged several raids on al-Ghail area in Khamer district, which resulted in injuring six citizens and causing big damages in public and private property.

Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March last year in a bid to bring the country’s fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a Riyadh ally, back to power.
Over 8,300 people, among them 2,236 children, have been killed and 16,015 others injured since the onset of the warfare. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, factories and mosques.
