Yemeni tribes vow to give crushing response to Saudi airstrikes

The Yemeni tribes have vowed to give a crushing response to the Saudi regime by setting up military units in the northern part of Sana'a Province against the Riyadh-back troops.

The military brigades were launched by several tribes of Arhab region in northern Sana'a after the Saudi warplanes pounded a mourning ceremony in the region.

The Saudi fighter jets bombarded a mourning ceremony in the village of Shara'a in Arhab region north of Sana'a Province last week. At least 8 Yemeni women and children were martyred and 10 others were wounded in the Saudi airstrikes.

The Yemeni tribes warned that they will give a crushing response to the Saudi airstrikes, specially at a time when Riyadh has hindered peace talks.

A number of Yemeni tribal leaders and Commander of the Yemeni Army's Fourth Brigade Abu Ali were present in the ceremony held to mark the start of operation by the new military units of the Yemeni tribes.

In a relevant development earlier on Tuesday, the Yemeni army and popular forces pounded and destroyed a strategic military base in Jizan Province with BM-27 Uragan rockets.

Mostahdas military base in Jizan Province was destroyed with at least four BM-2 Uragan rockets fired by the Yemeni forces' missile units.

The Yemeni army's missile unit in a statement confirmed that the Uragan rockets precisely hit the target. The Yemeni army has announced several times that it will hit Saudi Arabia's military positions if the Saudi-led coalition aircraft continue striking the Yemeni people.
