Pro Iranian Yemeni forces launch several attacks
2015-11-16
Iranian-backed coup insurgents have launched attacks on many fronts in Yemen over the past two days in just another desperate attempt to make a moral gain, the country’s assistant defence minister was quoted on Sunday as saying.

“These attacks are just another desperate attempt by the rebels to make a moral and media gain, but I can say that the next few days will see happy news on all war fronts,” Major General Abdul Qadir Al Amoudi told the UAE daily 'Emarat Al Youm'.

He said the national army and the resistance, backed by coalition jet raids, have succeeded in repulsing those attacks and expelling the rebels in most areas.

He said the army and the resistance have sent fresh reinforcements to some fronts, including Damat in Aldale and Dhabab in Taiz, adding that this would allow the national allies to achieve more victories and prepare for the battle of Sanaa.

“I don’t want to disclose details of the preparations for the battle of Sanaa., but I can say that all Yemeni governorates, on top of which is Sanaa, are a target for the coalition and our army…the operations will not stop until all Yemeni soil is liberated.”

He paid tributes to the coalition forces, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, for their efforts in supporting the national army with weapons and training to prepare it for ending the coup in Yemen and liberate all areas.
