By Staff, Agencies

Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yehya Saree said the Air Force and Rocketry Force launched a wide-scale and joint operation targeting Saudi Aramco, Najran Airport and sensitive targets in the city of Najran, with twelve ballistic missiles and drones.

Brigadier General Saree said in a post on Twitter on Thursday that the large joint operation was carried out with seven Badr and Sair ballistic missiles and five Qasef-2K drones.

Yemeni missiles and drones have hit the designated targets at Saudi Arabia with high precision.

Saree noted that the attack came in line with the country's "legitimate response" to the aggression's escalation and an all-out siege on the Yemeni people.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its other regional allies, launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The six years of war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure, Yemeni people are facing malnutrition, hunger, and famine, which have increased risks of disease and starvation.

With an all-out blockade on Yemen in place since the onset of the bloody war, the country is witnessing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, according to the UN. The sea, land, and air siege from, among others, has led to the closure of the Sanaa International Airport, the largest and most important airport in Yemen, and closed the al-Hudaydah port, which acts as a lifeline for the country.

Yemeni Armed Forces have repeatedly warned the Saudi regime to stop its war, promising the regime larger and larger operations if it continues its aggression and siege on the country.

Yemen’s Air Force has stepped up the retaliatory operations on Saudi Arabia in recent months.

Since the beginning of April, the Armed Forces have implemented more than 13 offensive operations, which have diversified their objectives and weapons. Among the most important and largest of these was the 30th of Shaaban Operation, which targeted, with 17 drones and ballistic missiles, Aramco refineries in Jeddah and Jubail regions, and other vital targets in Jizan.
