Saudis attacked Yemen to prove servitude to US masters: Ansarullah leader

The leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, says Aal-e Saud launched the ongoing atrocious and devastating aerial bombardment campaign against its southern neighbor in order to assert its servitude to the United States.

Addressing a group of Yemenis in the capital, Sana’a, on Friday, Houthi stressed the need for popular mobilization in the face of Saudi Arabia’s acts of aggression, and warned against any capitulation and surrender to enemies, Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.

He described the Yemeni nation’s resistance against the Riyadh regime’s incessant attacks as deeply rooted in religious orders and meant to safeguard national sovereignty, esteem and freedom.

The Ansarullah leader said Saudi Arabia opted to take part in hostilities against the impoverished country of Yemen following the death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Aal-e Saud to prove its dependence on US statesmen.

Houthi said Washington has offered the Aal-e Saud regime generous diplomatic support for its aggression against Yemen, and is even closely monitoring the attacks.

He called on Yemenis from all walks of life to resist against the relentless Saudi aggression irrespective of economic woes, airstrikes and destruction of critical infrastructure.

The remarks came on the same day that four women lost their lives and several other civilians sustained injuries when Saudi fighter jets carried out two aerial attacks against a residential building in the Yakhtal area of the Red Sea port city of Mokha, situated 346 kilometers south of Sana'a.

Saudi warplanes also struck the mountainous Jabal Yam area in the Nihm district of Yemen's western-central province of Sana'a, though no report of casualties were immediately available.

Additionally, Saudi jets launched two airstrikes against the Khalid military base in the Mawza district of the southwestern Yemeni province of Ta’izz, but no fatalities were reported.
