The spokesman for Yemen’s armed forces Brigadier General Sharaf Ghaleb Luqman confirmed that the strategy of the US-backed Saudi aggression did not achieve their objectives in Yemen, reaffirming that the army would continue to defend the homeland.
Mr. Luqman told Yemen's Saba news agency that "the recently reported remarks by Saudi crown prince bin Salman revealed the fears and concerns of the Saudi family's regime over their military defeat in Yemen."
"This statement was a desperate attempt aimed to protect the Saudi family from their losses in Yemen," Mr. Luqman said in remarks to Saba late on Friday.
The Brigadier General Luqman reaffirmed the army and popular committees will continue the war against the Saudi regime, their allies and their mercenaries in defense of their homeland.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 12,000 people have been killed and over 19,343 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
