国际英语资讯:Yemens Houthi rebels claim attacks on Saudi Arabia vital facilities

发布时间：2019-05-28 编辑：查字典英语网小编

SANAA, May 14 -- Yemen's Houthi rebels on Tuesday claimed responsibility for carrying out drone attacks on Saudi Arabia vital facilities.

"Seven drones carried out attacks on vital Saudi facilities in a large operation in response to the continued aggression and siege on our people," Houthi TV al-Masirah aired.

The Iranian-allied Yemeni rebels did not specify the date or name the targets. It was not immediately clear if the Houthis claimed responsibility for the Sunday's attacks on Saudi oil vessels off Fujairah emirate in the Strait of Hormuz.

There were no comments yet by the Saudi Arabia on the Yemeni rebels' claim.

Houthi rebels had launched dozens of drone strikes and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi cities in the past months to retaliate against what the rebels said Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on their positions.

Saudi Arabia has been leading a Sunni Arab military coalition against the Iran-allied Yemeni Shiite Houthi rebels since March 2017 to support the internationally-recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi after the rebels forced him into exile in Riyadh and seized much of Yemen's north, including the capital Sanaa.
