Airstrikes from a UAE-Saudi coalition destroyed a key Houthi
and Saleh encampment in the Yemeni capital, the headquarters of the Special
Security Forces, on Sunday, with columns of grey smoke rising from downtown
Sanaa. The warplanes also targeted weapons caches in the mountains of Noqum and
Ayban, east and west of Sanaa. (AP, 6 September)
UAE’s Ministry of Interior posted videos on its Instagram
account of Emirati fighter jets targeting the Houthi targets on Sunday. The
airstrikes began after an official mourning period following the death of 46 UAE servicemen killed in their camp in Mareb hit by Houthi rocket. 10 Saudi and
five Bahraini soldiers were also killed in the attack.

Qatar has just sent 1,000 of its troops to Yemen. This means the PGCC has about 10,000 troops in Yemen now.
ReplyDeleteEgypt had 80,000 in the 60's when Yemen's population was 6 million and still lost. No power can defeat the Yemenis on their own soil. The Saudis are reaping whirlwind that will bring the war into their cities as Yemeni tribals make up over 60% of the Saudi military and National Guard. Salman's inept son has got them in pickle.
