Yemeni Army warns S. Arabia, UAE of more surprises

Yemeni Army will further surprise Saudi Arabia and the UAE in case of their continued attacks against the Arab country, Spokesman for Yemen's Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree warned.

The Monday drone operations against Malik Khalid airbase and Khamis Mashit region in Saudi Arabia's Assir region targeted the airbase's advanced radars and remote-control rooms, Saree told reporters in a press conference on Tuesday.

He also warned the Saudi-led coalition that the Yemeni army is capable of conducting concurrent operations, adding that they are extending the range of their attacks.

"We advise the Saudi and UAE governments to stop attacks. We have many surprises which will be revealed in the next few days," Saree underlined.

Yemen's armed forces launched fresh drone attacks on an airport in Saudi Arabia’s Southwestern Jizan region.

"Qasif-K2 combat drones targeted drone bunkers and stations at the Jizan airport after collecting intelligence on the sites," Yemen’s al-Masirah TV channel reported on Sunday.

Al-Masirah quoted a military source as saying that Saudi Arabia had converted the Jizan airport into a military base.

The Yemeni army and popular forces have carried out several drone attacks on Jizan and Najran airports over the past few weeks to retaliate for the war that Saudi Arabia has been leading on Yemen since March 2015.

A Yemeni drone targeted a major oil pumping station deep inside Saudi Arabia last month, forcing state crude giant Aramco to temporarily shut down pumping operations at the site.
