Extensive Yemeni air operations against targets in southern Saudi Arabia
A spokesman for the aggressor coalition in Yemen said that various points in southern Saudi Arabia had been targeted in airstrikes by Yemeni forces.
Arab media reported on Sunday morning that the Yemeni armed forces had launched a large-scale operation consisting of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and explosive drones against the Saudi aggression coalition.
Al-Arabiya initially quoted a spokesman for the Saudi aggression coalition as saying that a drone had been dropped by Yemeni forces on Khamis Mushait.
The Saudi coalition, of course, as usual with false claims, claimed that it had intercepted the drone before it hit the ground.
“We are pursuing hostile cross-border attacks from Sanaa International Airport,” the aggressor coalition claimed.
The Saudi coalition announced minutes later that four more drones had been launched into southern Saudi Arabia.
According to Al-Jazeera, Aramco facilities in Jazan and Abshirinken in Shaqiq were also targeted by Yemeni forces.
Moments later, the Saudi coalition said that as part of the Yemeni air operation in the morning, the Dhahran al-Janub power plant near the Yemeni border was also targeted.
“Houthi militants made a hostile attempt to target a gas refinery in Khamis al-Mushait in southern Saudi Arabia,” Al-Jazeera quoted the Saudis as saying.
Minutes later, Al-Arabiya quoted the Saudi coalition as saying that a ballistic missile had been fired by Yemeni forces at Jazan.
“The Houthis are escalating the conflict using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones,” the aggressor coalition said in a statement.
Earlier, Yemeni sources reported that the Yemeni army had liberated dozens of positions in northwestern Yemen and looted Saudi coalition equipment.
