The spokesman of Sana’a forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sarie, revealed that the armed forces are in the process of conducting test operations for new weapons of mass destruction, which will enter the battle line during the next phase.
The eighth year of resilience would be marked by qualitative military operations that would lead to the attack of the enemy and the liberation of more “occupied” Yemen.
In a press conference held Monday in Sana’a to review the harvest of operations of the armed forces during seven years of resilience in the face of war, Brigadier General Sarie noted that Sana’a forces had prepared specific military operations, including on the path to breaking the blockade, and were awaiting instructions on their implementation. “The enemy would be surprised by the popular action in support of the armed forces to break the unjust siege.
“Today we stand before some of what the armed forces have achieved as they grapple with foreign forces, invaders from agents and traitors during seven years of military confrontation and mythical resilience,” he said. Brigadier General Sarie noted that in this battle, the Yemeni people have provided tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded and millions of people affected by the war and siege.
Airstrikes:
Brigadier General Sarie pointed out that Yemen had been subjected to the most heinous war by the United States of America with its tools in the region, which had ridiculed its money in order to kill and kneel Yemenis, occupy their land, plunder their wealth and remove them from their responsibilities in building their country and making their future.
“On 26 March 2015, Yemenis were surprised by a massive military attack on land, sea, and air – shelling from land, sea and air – restricting access to sea crossings, closing airspace and launching the siege operation without any reasons or prejudices other than the desire to kill Yemen’s revolt, freedom and independence.”
He pointed out that the war on Yemen continued at an unprecedented pace during the first year. In that year, the armed forces were unable to monitor the various attacks. In one day, we were in front of one hundred to 400 airstrikes, the addition of naval bombardments and helicopter raids in some border areas.
“Tens of thousands of different bombs have fallen on our villages and cities, tens of thousands of martyrs and injured have fallen from us, and Yemeni homes have been destroyed on their heads in war that has left with no sanctity.”
According to the spokesperson of Sana’a forces, the number of raids that the armed forces had been able to monitor was 274,000 and 243 even hours earlier. It notes that thousands of raids have been carried out in various areas during the months of war and have not been monitored.
The raids had led to the killing and injuring of tens of thousands of Yemenis, as well as the destruction of private and public objects. Most of those crimes had been documented by sound and image.
General Sarie confirmed that during the past seven years, the coalition has used internationally prohibited weapons. The competent authorities have documented them. Thousands of prohibited bombs have been dropped on Yemeni heads, homes, cities, and villages. Confirmed that war crimes won’t fall by the statute of limitations.
