Yemen Missile Strike Hits Saudi Forces Gathering in Lahj, Dozens Casualties Reported

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the spokesperson for Yemen‘s armed forces, Yahya Saree, announced that elements affiliated with Saudi Arabia in the Lahj province have been targeted. He provided further details, stating that a gathering point for forces operating under the command of Badr Al-Harbi was struck by several ballistic missiles in the Kharaz region of Lahj province. In the aftermath of these missile attacks, the spokesperson confirmed that dozens of enemy forces were killed and wounded, and a substantial portion of their military equipment was destroyed. Previously, Hazam Al-Assad, a prominent member of the political bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, had stated that the country’s armed forces had not yet engaged in full-scale combat, suggesting that a comprehensive escalation of clashes could lead to the collapse of the Al Saud regime. He described Saudi Arabia’s governmental structure as fragile and dependent on oil reserves, adding that the operations of Yemen’s armed forces have far-reaching consequences, but they have not yet initiated a widespread escalation of hostilities. Al-Assad also clarified that all commanders and officers directing the military aggression against Yemen hold Saudi citizenship. He further emphasized that the victories of Yemen’s armed forces in the battles of the West Coast and Taiz province have exerted immense pressure on Riyadh and even Washington. He underscored that the Yemeni people are acting in a defensive posture and were not the initiators of aggression, and that the process of military arms production in Yemen is following a strategic, long-term, and continuous path.
