Yemeni Armed Forces Deny Saudi Claim of Attack on Medina

Yemen's armed forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said on Thursday that no attack was launched toward Medina, describing the Saudi claim as a big and blatant lie. In a statement carried by Al-Masirah, Saree said the Yemeni armed forces did not carry out any targeting operations toward Saudi territory that day.

The denial came in response to a Saudi assertion that an attack had been directed at Medina. Saree rejected the claim outright, stating that the Yemeni armed forces had conducted no operations against Saudi territory on Thursday. He characterized the Saudi statement as false and unfounded.

The statement was issued through Al-Masirah, the media outlet associated with the Yemeni armed forces, which has previously carried similar announcements from the spokesman. No further details were provided regarding the nature of the Saudi claim or the specific location it referenced.

According to Mehr News, the exchange marks the latest in a series of public statements between the two sides. The report by Mehr News added that Saree's denial was issued the same day as the Saudi allegation, with the spokesman insisting that no Yemeni operation had targeted Saudi territory.
