Ahlulbayt News Agency: The Spokesman for Yemen’s Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, says Yemeni army troops and allied fighters from Popular Committees have managed to deal a severe blow to Takfiri militants and Saudi mercenaries during the recent large-scale military operation in the central Province of al-Bayda, killing hundreds of them in the process.
Speaking at a press conference in the capital Sana’a on Thursday afternoon, Saree stated that Yemeni armed forces notched up glorious victories during Operation Nasr al-Mobin (Manifest Victory), and killed 350 Takfiri terrorists, including members of Daesh and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) terror outfits. Scores of them fled as well.
“Takfiri groups sought to assert control over several districts in al-Bayda Province. The resurgence of Takfiri outfits was in fact part of US plans to target Yemen, and plunge it into the hands of mercenaries and extremists,” he pointed out.
Saree added, “The large amount of weapons that Yemeni army troops, Popular Committees fighters and security forces recovered from Takfiri terrorists shows the extent of support provided by the [Saudi-led] coalition of aggression to Saudi-paid militants.”
The senior Yemeni military official went on to say that the invading Saudi-led alliance supplied the militants with weapons, and allowed dozens of foreign Takfiris to sneak into Yemen.
“This battle once again exposed the true nature of Takfiri Daesh and al-Qaeda elements, and their affiliation to the United States. Relevant parties in Yemen are properly informed of the activities of these Takfiri elements in various regions, including the city of Ma’rib and elsewhere,” Saree highlighted.
