KABUL: (MEP) Yemeni army forces have destroyed four Saudi military boats in the country’s southwestern waters in revenge to the relentless Saudi bombardment of the impoverished nation.
Yemeni forces targeted the vessels with surface-to-surface missiles in the early hours of Thursday, when the boats were approaching the port city of Mocha, located in the country’s southwestern province of Tai’z, Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah news website reported.
Saudi Arabia has deployed its vessels around the coasts of Yemen in an attempt to support its airstrikes and to maintain a crippling blockade on the poorest nation of the Arabian Peninsula.
The Yemeni forces also managed to shoot down a Saudi spy aircraft in the Harad district of the northwestern province of Hajjah earlier on Wednesday.
Saudi Arabia, however, continued its unabated deadly airstrikes on Wednesday and its warplanes attacked various districts in Yemen’s northwestern province of Amran. At least 15 people lost their lives and 44 others sustained injuries when the aerial aggression targeted a cement factory.
