Yemeni army launches missile attack on UAE operations room.
The Yemeni army says it has fired a missile at the UAE field operations room in Shabwa province (southern Yemen).
The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sari, announced this morning (Tuesday) that a missile had been fired at the UAE Operations Room and its mercenaries in southern Yemen.
A spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces said: “Thank God, the missile unit was able to target the enemy’s field operations room – Emirates – and its mercenaries in the city of Asilan in Shabwa province with a ballistic missile yesterday evening (Monday). “It collided and as a result, many people, including some Emirati people, were killed and injured.” Yahya Sari added that the battles in Shabwa province were managed from this operating room.
The Yemeni military has announced three missile and drone strikes deep into the UAE in recent weeks. The Yemeni army resumed its attacks on the United Arab Emirates after Mohammed al-Bakhiti, a member of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement’s political bureau, told Al-Arabi: “Saudi Arabia will hand over all the southern provinces of Yemen, including Shabwa, to the UAE, and in return, the UAE will use all its military capabilities as in the past [in Yemen].”
Al-Bakhiti warned: “From here, we advise the UAE not to continue its acts of tension, because if this tension continues, Yemen will be forced to attack deep inside its territory. “We are at war.”
The US-backed Saudi coalition invaded Yemen on April 26, 2015, claiming an attempt to bring the resigned Yemeni president back to power, and imposed a land, air and sea blockade on the country. The military aggression did not achieve any of the coalition’s goals and was only accompanied by the killing and wounding of tens of thousands of Yemenis, the displacement of millions, the destruction of the country’s infrastructure, and the spread of famine, starvation and infectious diseases.
