Sana’a (GPA) – In retaliation for the
Saudi’s ongoing aggression against Yemen, Yemeni forces have targeted an
Aramco Saudi oil refinery in Yanbu province with a long-range ballistic
missile.
The Saudi-led coalition tend to order anywhere from 20 to 70
airstrikes against various Yemeni provinces on any given day. Any
province under control of Yemen’s Popular Forces is fair game. Hot spots
currently include Taiz, Marib, the vital Hodeidah port town, and the
densely populated capital city of Sana’a. So in retaliation, Yemeni
forces have struck a Saudi oil refinery.
Just yesterday, Saudi airstrikes attacked a fishing boat killing 8
workers on board and wounding at least one more. Other targets
frequently include civilian homes, crowded markets, funerals, schools,
and all other civilian infrastructure. Despite this terrorism, arms from
the west– especially the United States and United Kingdom– continue
flowing.
Yemen’s Popular Forces have long been working on developing their own
long-range ballistic missiles called the Borakn 2 aka “Volcano H-2”
which has a range of nearly 900 miles. Yemen’s resistance has launched
other long-range missiles at military targets deep inside Saudi Arabia
before. In May, a Yemeni missile targeted Riyadh as a “welcome gift” for
Donald Trump’s visit that same day. Yemeni forces have also
successfully struck coalition fighter
jets en route to drop bombs and several coalition
warships.
As long as the Saudi-led aggression continues to massacre innocent
Yemenis, Yemen’s Popular Forces will likely continue to retaliate. While
Saudi Arabia targets civilians, Yemeni forces only target military
gatherings or high-value economic targets. This particular attack on the
Saudi oil refinery was carried out at night as to avoid any civilian
casualties.
In the past 850 days, Saudi Arabia has completely destroyed nearly
all civilian infrastructure, massacred thousands of civilians, and
triggered a cholera epidemic the likes of which the world has never
seen.
