SANAA, April 15 (YPA) – Yemeni forces launched a large-scale military operation targeting sensitive positions in the city of Jizan, Southwest Saudi Arabia, Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yehya Sare’e announced in a statement on Thursday .

“The missile force and the air force carried out a joint operation using 11 missiles and drones that targeted Saudi Aramco Company, Patriot batteries, and other sensitive targets in Jizan,  Brigadier General Yehya Sare’e said .

He explained that Saudi Aramco and other targets were hit with seven “Saeer” and “Badr” type missiles, hitting their targets precisely, noting that huge fires consequently broke out inside the company.

“Reservoirs and Patriot batteries were also targeted with four Sammad-3 and one Qasef-2k type drone, hitting their targets accurately,” he added .

Brigadier General Sare’e indicated that this operation comes in a response to the escalation of the  Saudi-led aggression, its continued blockade and permanent crimes, the last of which was committed on Wednesday in Saada province.

The military spokesman concluded the statement by vowing wider-scale operations as long as the aggression and blockade against Yemen continue.
