News - Yemen: The condemnations of Operation Yemen Hurricane II express a state of courtesy between Saudi Arabia and the UAE and the countries with which they have interests, Foreign Minister Hisham Sharaf confirmed.

"Despite the condemnations of the Operation Yemen Hurricane II, the world knows that it is a legitimate and right response,” Sharaf said in a statement to Al-Masirah television network on Tuesday.

He explained that the Yemeni people no longer care about the condemnations of some as much as the actions that respond to the aggression in reality.

“If the countries of aggression want us to stop responding, they must stop the aggression and seek peace,” he added.

Addressing all those who threaten to designate Ansarullah as of terrorism, he said that the terrorist is the one who has been killing and besieging the Yemeni people for seven years.

At a press conference in the capital Sana’a on Monday, the spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e stated that Yemeni Army had hit al- Dhafra Air Base, located approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) south of Abu Dhabi, as well as other designated sites on the outskirts of the Emirati capital with barrages of Zulfiqar ballistic missiles during Operation Yemen Hurricane II (E'sar Al-Yemen 2).

Sare'e noted that important targets in Dubai were struck with indigenous long-endurance Sammad-3 unmanned aerial vehicles.

The senior military official went on to say that Yemeni Armed Forces also used squadrons of Sammad-1 and Qasef-2K combat drones to hit a number of military camps in the Sharurah town of Saudi Arabia’s southern region of Najran.

“Additionally, a number of vital targets and strategic sites in [the kingdom’s] Jizan and ‘Asir regions were targeted with several ballistic missiles,” Sare'e said, emphasizing that the designated locations were hit with high precision.

“Yemeni Armed Forces are fully prepared to ramp up their operations in case the enemy raises the ante,” he warned, adding, “We renew our advice to foreign companies and investors in the UAE to leave the country as it has become unsafe.”

“The UAE will be constantly targeted as long as it continues its aggression and siege against the Yemeni nation,” the spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces asserted.
