Yemen Strikes Back: Ballistic Missiles and Drones Target Saudi-Affiliated Forces
The Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a devastating wave of ballistic missiles and drones against Saudi-affiliated military concentrations across Mokha and Marib. The strikes, which took place on Saturday, targeted weapons depots, command facilities, and proxy warboats, leaving dozens of mercenary fighters dead.
Military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree warned that the army will vaporize any Saudi military buildup designed to threaten Yemeni soil or further the brutal twelve-year aggression. The strikes brought the strategic Mokha port to a grinding halt, with 25 missiles hitting the facility and causing significant damage.
The port director estimated material losses at $16 million and noted that the bombardment heavily damaged infrastructure, wooden vessels, and an excavation dredger, leaving 1,300 workers without livelihoods overnight. The strikes are part of a retaliatory framework following Sanaa's July 20 declaration of a total maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia.
