Violent explosions rocked the Yemeni capital, Sanaa
Today, Sunday, the Saudi-Emirati coalition warplanes renewed their attacks on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that violent explosions rocked the Yemeni capital, targeting the areas of Al-Sabahah, Atan, and Al-Ri’asa, west and south of Sanaa, amid the warplanes’ continuous overflights.
For her part, the representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Yemen, Katharina Ritz, expressed her shock when she visited the crime scene of the central prison in Saada, conveying the Red Cross condolences to the families of the victims.
Ritz explained that the ICRC visited the targeted prison in Saada 4 times, with the regional representative in the Middle East and North Africa.
Demands to classify Ansar Allah as a “terrorist” organization
On his part, the Advisor to the President of the Emirates, Anwar Gargash, claimed in a tweet that there is Arab consensus "without any country's reservations” to classify Ansar Allah movement as a “terrorist” organization, as per his allegations.
For its part, the Arab League Council at the level of delegates called on all countries to classify Ansar Allah as a “terrorist” organization after the qualitative operation carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces with missiles and drones deep in the UAE, in response to the massacres committed by the Saudi-Emirati coalition against civilian Yemenis.
Commenting on the stance of the Council, Grand Jaafarite Mufti in Lebanon Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan demanded in a statement the council not to “commit a historic crime against the Yemenis like the UN Security Council that sheathes its sword, slaughters the victim and then dances on the oppressed bodies, as it does in Yemen and elsewhere.”
It is worth noting that the demands of the Arab League Council came only two days after more than 65 Yemenis were martyred and more than 120 were injured as a result of the airstrike of the Saudi-led coalition warplanes that directly targeted the central prison in Saada.
The Saudi-led coalition continues to launch raids and bombardments on a number of Yemeni governorates, leaving martyrs, wounded, and material damage to property and infrastructure. This escalation coincides with the coalition launching, a few days ago, a military air operation on Al-Hudaydah, western Yemen, continuing to violate the ceasefire there.
