The Yemeni Armed Forces launched a massive preemptive attack on Saudi military camps in Al-Ruwaik, Al-Abr, Al-Thaniyah, and other areas in anticipation of a Saudi campaign that aims at deterring the Yemeni people from their stance on ending the unjust siege, according to a statement issued by the spokesman General Yahya Saree.
What follows is the full text of the statement:
In its continued aggression and siege against our dear Yemeni people for nearly 12 years, the criminal Saudi enemy has observed large Saudi military buildups in their final stages, aimed at escalating the aggression against the liberated provinces and the Yemeni people to deter them from their stance on ending the unjust siege.
Therefore:
Our armed forces conducted a large-scale and precise military operation targeting Saudi enemy troop concentrations in the areas of Al-Ruwaik, Al-Abr, Al-Thaniyah, and other camps belonging to the so-called First and Third Emergency Divisions, using a large number of ballistic missiles and drones.
The operation resulted in the following:
- The death and injury of hundreds of Saudi enemy mercenaries.
- The destruction and burning of a large number of Saudi enemy camps, troop concentrations, depots, and weapons in the Al-Wadi’ah area in the east of the country.
- The destruction of a large number of military vehicles exist in the targeted camps.
The Yemeni Armed Forces warn the criminal Saudi enemy against any act of aggression against our country and our people, and it will bear the consequences of any escalation.
We advise those misled and deceived among our people to leave the Saudi enemy camps and return to their homes before it is too late.
We assure our dear Yemeni people in all governorates that the armed forces are fully prepared to confront any escalation.
We call upon all our people to remain vigilant and confront any Saudi aggression, and to strike Saudi troop concentrations wherever they may be.
We will continue the “siege for siege” equation until the siege on our country is lifted.
