Coalition led by Saudi Arabia strikes missile depots in Yemen

14

Airstrikes by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia hit 2 caves used by the Yemeni Houthis to store missiles and 4 secret unmanned aerial vehicles in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a. The decision to attack these targets came after Saudi air defenses shot down a missile launched by the Houthis in the kingdom's southwest.

Coalition officials argue that airstrikes against missile bases are necessary to prevent further launches. For years, a coalition of Arab states has been unable to cope with the Yemeni Houthis, an Iran-backed militia.



The Houthis regularly launch attacks on Saudi Arabia's border facilities, as well as launch rockets towards Saudi cities. The capital of the country, Riyadh, also got it. Despite the constant angry statements from both the KSA and other Arab monarchies in the Persian Gulf, the real actions of the coalition are not so successful. On the contrary, they demonstrate the helplessness of the armed forces of the Arab monarchies, in which huge money is invested, in front of the Yemeni militias.

The Houthis captured Sana seven years ago, in 2014. Since then, they have been waging an unceasing war against forces loyal to the Yemeni government and the invading Saudi Arabian and other Arab states' forces that have invaded Yemen, forming the so-called "Arab coalition." Despite the obvious financial, numerical and organizational and technical superiority, the Arab coalition has not yet succeeded in defeating the Houthis, and such attacks on missile bases are only an attempt to somehow recoup the destruction and losses that the regular attacks of the Houthis inflict on the Saudi kingdom. At the same time, in Riyadh, they constantly talk about the guilt of Iran, which supports the Houthi armed formations in Yemen. The Saudi military claims that it is Iran that supplies its UAVs and missiles to Yemen, with which the Houthis then attack government facilities in the country, as well as the territory of Saudi Arabia.

    Yesterday there was a somewhat comical incident in Yemen. Yemen's youth football team won the international cup against the Suadi national team. The people rejoiced, firing into the air from numerous weapons. Results: 4 were killed, more than 100 wounded. Both laughter and sin, as they say.

      Isn't it the same if the team from Lviv played in Lugansk?

        This is exactly how Romania responded to the US claims about the theft of diesel fuel at the airbase.

          It's funny. They missed the golden chance to remain silent. By the way, here is the exact answer: We demand from the United States to respect foreign culture am Before this incident, I knew nothing about Romanian culture. lol

        The Houthis are a warlike nation, men do not go without weapons even in everyday life. The boy is put in the cradle, not toys, but weapons. The pistol can be bought at the bakery.

    The Houthi cause is right, they will win!
    Yesterday, a Houthi sniper transferred to a horizontal position the commander of the Yemeni army, General Nasser Al Taibani, who commanded the repulse of the Houthi attack on the strategically important Al Balak ridge overlooking the suburb of Marib, with the loss of which part of the oil fields in the province will come under the control of the Houthis.

        I watched the announcement of this movie. They are also portrayed as cool as mattresses in Hollywood, but in fact barefoot guys tear them in the tail and in the mane, so much so that the allies scatter and the tribal militia goes over to their side in batches. hi

    "Airstrikes by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia have targeted 2 caves used by the Yemeni Houthis to store missiles and 4 secret unmanned aerial vehicles in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa."
    As a result of these actions, 3 architectural monuments, a wedding and 2 excavators were destroyed
