The Yemeni parliament has praised the country’s armed forces on their recent successful counterstrike against Saudi-led aggressors on a strategic northwestern front.
The legislative body congratulated the Yemeni army, their allied Popular Committees and tribal forces over the major triumph through a statement on Tuesday, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported.
“The surprising victory in Harad carries a strong and decisive message for the invading Saudi coalition and its mercenaries inside Yemen,” the legislators said.
“…the message that Yemen is the graveyard of aggressors. The Yemeni people constitute a hard and strong rock that destroys all the plots that take aim at the sons of this nation’s devotional identity,” it added.
The statement came two days after the allied forces repelled the Saudi aggressors’ attack aimed to occupy the Harad District in Yemen’s Hajjah Province, inflicting heavy human and material losses on the Saudi enemy.
Three civilians killed in Saudi attacks
On Tuesday, al-Masirah reported that Saudi artillery attacks on the al-Sheikh area in the border district of Monabbih killed two civilians, and claimed the life of another around the Shada'a District of Sa’ada in northwestern Yemen.
Saudi artillery attacks had recently killed three civilians and wounded four others in Monabbih, while Saudi-led militant mortar attacks in the coastal province of al-Hudaydah’s al-Tuhayat District claimed the life of a child and inflicted injuries on three people.
Citing a security source, the network said the Saudi-led militants violated a truce that was agreed in Sweden in 2018 obliging the coalition to end its aggression in al-Hudaydah, as many as 75 times over in the 24 hours to Tuesday.
For more than six years, the Riyadh-led war on the besieged Arab country, aimed at re-installing the regime of Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, has spawned the most horrible humanitarian disaster.
The protracted war has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemeni civilians and turned the largely mountainous country into the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
The Yemeni defense forces have, however, vowed not to lay down their arms until the country’s complete liberation from the scourge of the invasion.
