Saudi warplanes attack Ansarullah sites in Yemeni capital: Report

Saudi fighter jets have reportedly conducted airstrikes on positions belonging to the Ansarullah Movement in Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a.

Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV channel reported that the aerial assaults targeted Ansarullah barracks and military sites early on Sunday and destroyed four drones at al-Delmi Air Base north of Sana’a.

On Saturday, Yemen's al-Masirah television network reported six Saudi air raids on the Military Engineering Department in Sana’a’s Shoub district.

Saudi warplanes, the report said, also targeted a citizen's farm in Sana’a’s Bani Heshaesh district.

The strikes came a few days after Yemeni armed forces launched missile and drones strikes against a strategic target in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, in retaliation for the regime’s deadly bombing campaign and inhumane siege on their country.

Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said Thursday that a domestically-developed Zofaqar ballistic missile and four Samad-3 drones were used to hit the “important target” in Riyadh.

The Saudi-led coalition, however, claimed that it had intercepted and destroyed ballistic missiles and explosive drones launched towards the kingdom.

Since early 2015, Riyadh and a coalition of its vassal states have been engaged in a military campaign against Yemen in a futile attempt to reinstall a Saudi-friendly government there.
