Saree: Targeting facilities, ministries will not go unpunished

• 

The Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree denied Monday the Saudi-led coalition claims about using civilian areas for military purposes.

Saree described the coalition's claims as "untrue" and considered them a clear justification for targeting Yemeni civilians and civilian facilities.

He also affirmed that targeting civilian facilities and ministries will not achieve the aggression's goal in breaking the will of the Yemeni people, stressing that the Yemeni Armed Forces will respond to the Saudi-led coalition's bombing of Yemen's Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology in the country's capital, Sanaa.

ما يدعيه تحالف العدوان السعودي الإماراتي الأمريكي من إستخدام القوات المسلحة للأماكن المدنية لأغراض عسكرية عار عن الصحه ومجرد تبرير مفضوح لإستهداف المنشئات المدنية والمدنيين .
ونؤكد ان إستهداف المنشآت المدنية والوزارات لن يحقق أهداف العدو في كسر ارادة الشعب ولن يمر دون رد وعقاب.
