Suffering Failure, KSA Vows to Escalate Aggression on Yemen

Recent attacks by Yemeni tribal fighters on Saudi Arabia’s southern border area have infuriated Riyadh with a high-ranking commander overseeing the ongoing Saudi aggression warning of further attacks on Yemenis
.

Yemen’s tribal forces retaliated against the deadly Saudi airstrikes by firing missiles at targets south of Saudi Arabia on May 5, more than one month after Riyadh’s aggression started. Over 1,200 people have been martyred in the airstrikes so far.

The tribal attacks have up to now declared scores of lives, most of them Saudi military forces stationed in bases and military facilities in Najran Province.

The Saudi-led coalition spokesman General Ahmed al-Assiri, threatened late Thursday that the Yemeni forces "will pay a harsh and expensive price."

Since the Saudi aggression started on March 26, the popular committees in Yemen had repeatedly warned that the indiscriminate targeting of civilians and Yemen’s economic and public infrastructure would not go unanswered.

Assiri claimed, however, that the Yemenis have crossed a "red line" by shelling the border regions.

The comments came after Saudi Arabia announced plans for a five-day halt to its brutal war on Yemen.
