Yemen’s Armed Forces have carried out six drone and missile operations against Saudi strategic sites, oil facilities and military positions, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree says. 

The first operation targeted King Khalid International Airport and Aramco facilities in Riyadh, while the second struck Aramco facilities in the Khurais oil field, southwest of Dhahran, Saree reported on Thursday.

The third operation targeted an Aramco oil pumping station in Dawadmi, west of Riyadh, and the fourth struck Saudi troop concentrations at a National Guard camp in Najran.

The fifth operation involved strikes on Saudi-supported forces east of Yemen’s al-Jawf province, leaving dozens dead and wounded, while the sixth targeted troop gatherings in Marib province.

Saree vowed that the Yemeni Armed Forces “will not hesitate to avenge the blood of their steadfast compatriots,” warning that Saudi Arabia would “pay a heavy price for every crime and act of aggression” against Yemen.

He reiterated Yemen’s policy of “siege for siege and escalation for escalation,” saying operations would continue until the Saudi attacks and blockade ended.

Meanwhile, Yemen’s Armed Forces have reported further airstrikes by Saudi forces against civilian targets in recent days.

On Wednesday, Yemeni forces said they had prevented several Saudi F-15 fighter jets from entering Sana’a’s airspace, forcing them to leave, as Saudi aircraft attacked areas in Lahij and Ta’izz.

On Tuesday, Saudi airstrikes on al-Mufzar gas station and a building belonging to Yemen’s Oil and Gas Corporation in Sana’a killed one civilian and injured nine others.

On Monday, Saudi attacks in Hudaydah killed a woman and injured her daughter in al-Eissi, wounded a family of three in al-Fazah and injured five people in the border district of Shada’a in Sa’ada.

Yemen’s Armed Forces: 4 operations carried out in retaliation for Riyadh’s continued aggression

Yemen’s Armed Forces say four operations were carried out inside Saudi Arabia, targeting strategic infrastructure and military positions with missiles and drones in retaliation for Saudi attacks on Yemen.

The Yemeni armed forces launched their counteroffensive after more than a decade of Saudi-led war and blockade against Yemen, which began in 2015 when Riyadh intervened militarily to restore the former regime.

Saudi Arabia has sharply escalated its aggression, with Yemeni officials reporting hundreds of airstrikes across the country as Riyadh seeks to restore a Saudi-aligned regime in Sana’a.

Yemeni armed forces have responded with several major operations along the Red Sea coast, driving Saudi-supported militants from strategic positions and capturing the port city of Mokha before advancing toward Bab al-Mandeb.

The Yemeni forces have since seized strategic areas and islands around the waterway, significantly strengthening their position at one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints.
