Wednesday, 24 June_An official from Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement says all missiles and drones used the army’s latest raid have precisely hit their targets in Saudi Arabia, warning of further strikes on more sensitive locations inside the kingdom if it fails to end the bloodshed in Yemen.
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior member of Ansarullah’s political bureau, made the remarks on Tuesday shortly after Yemeni Armed Forces conducted large-scale attacks on a the headquarters of the Saudi Defense Ministry and general intelligence agency as well as King Salman Air Base, among other military targets in the capital Riyadh and Najran and Jizan regions.
However, the Saudi-led coalition waging war on Yemen claimed it had successfully intercepted the drones and missiles coming from Yemen.
Speaking to Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen TV channel, Bukhaiti said all Yemeni missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in the operation had “reached their targets in Saudi Arabia, and none of them were shot down.”
The Riyadh regime, he said, was trying to cover up the losses it has suffered in the raids, adding that the military operation led Saudi Arabia and the UAE — a key party to the coalition — to change their position.
“The Yemeni weapons are continuously making progress, and the next strikes will be more painful and against more sensitive targets,” he noted.
Bukhaiti said Yemen was not betting on a mere hope that Saudi and Emirati rulers will someday have their conscience awakened, “but rather on the enhancement of our defense capabilities.”
The latest Yemeni attacks lie within the framework of the nation’s right to self-defense, Bukhaiti said.
