Earlier today, the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said on Twitter that "the Yemeni armed forces will announce in the coming hours the details of a wide military operation in the UAE depth."
In response to the aggressive raids launched by the Saudi coalition, the Minister of Defense in the Sanaa government, Major General Muhammad Al-Atifi, has recently announced that the countries leading the aggression will soon witness “painful strikes in the depths and unexpected areas, and this is a legitimate right of the Yemeni people,” within the framework of Operation Yemen Hurricane.
He pointed out that "the escalating aggression does not help end the war, but rather expands its geographical scope, undermines peace opportunities, and destabilizes the security and stability of the region."
