Abu Dhabi Main Target of Ballistic Missiles: Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – United Arab Emirates’ capital, Abu Dhabi is the main target of our ballistic missiles, Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah Movement's Spokesperson Mohamed Abdel Salam said.
Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah Movement spokesperson said also that the movement plans to step up its "combat operations" on the Saudi Arabian border, the Iraqi satellite TV network, Alsumaria News, reported on Saturday evening.
"Abu Dhabi is our main military aim and a direct target for our ballistic missiles," Abdel Salam added.
Yemeni army soldiers, backed by fighters from allied Popular Committees, have increased attacks against positions held by Saudi mercenaries in several provinces across the conflict-ridden country in the past two months. At least 57 Saudi regime’s serviceman were killed in Yemen in September, the Saudi media reported.
The attacks against Saudi forces came in retaliation for the continued massacre of civilians and destruction of Yemen’s infrastructure by the Saudi-led coalition.
Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for more than two and half years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to Hadi.
Over 12,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign.
