The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has slammed the ongoing Saudi airstrikes targeting civilian infrastructure and non-military facilities across the country, warning that such attacks will trigger severe retaliation against strategic targets deep inside Saudi Arabia.

“These constant crimes and attacks will not go unpunished, and will certainly draw painful responses that will hit the depth of Saudi Arabia, particularly the installations belonging to parties funding the aggression,” the ministry said in a statement late on Sunday.

The statement highlighted that the Yemeni nation is currently confronting a fateful struggle and war of aggression imposed upon them, adding that Saudi Arabia, as the aggressor, does not respect any international principles or humanitarian law.

The Yemeni foreign ministry described the Yemeni nation’s rights and demands as legitimate, stressing they are not open to negotiation and bargaining.

“The incessant targeting of [Yemeni] civilian facilities will place all vital and critical installations inside Saudi Arabia in a databank of targets that Yemeni Armed Forces will pound in retaliation,” the statement read.

Yemeni army releases footage of drone strikes on Saudi forces on multiple fronts

The Yemeni Armed Forces said they used homegrown Rajoum strike-reconnaissance drones to target Saudi military build-ups and vehicles on several fronts.

The statement came shortly after seven people sustained injuries when Saudi airstrikes targeted the Ras Isa fuel terminal on the Red Sea coast in Yemen’s western province of Hudaydah.

Several civilians were also injured when Saudi border guards opened fire on a residential neighborhood in the Shada'a district of Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada.

On July 20, the Sana’a government announced a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia in response to "an unjust and oppressive siege" on Yemen for almost 12 years.

Subsequently, the Yemeni armed forces have reported a series of successful missions that have targeted vessels associated with Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea. The Yemeni forces have also carried out retaliatory attacks on targets deep inside the kingdom.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and its allies imposed a blockade on Yemen, initiating a comprehensive military offensive that received support in terms of military, political, and logistical assistance from the United States and several Western countries.

Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis have been killed; however, Saudi Arabia has failed to achieve its primary goal of reestablishing a puppet government in Yemen that serves its interests.
