UAE jet fighters pound rebel positions in Yemen

The jet fighters of the air force and air defence of the United Arab Emirates have continued their air strikes on the rebel strongholds in Yemen.

The United Arab Emirates' jet fighters, taking part in the Arab Coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, conducted precise airstrikes that hit the Houthi gatherings and arms caches in Sana'a and al Bayda, where the warehouses for military vehicles were targeted. The rebels' vehicles and gatherings were also hit in Marib.

The jet fighters returned safely to their bases.

The UAE had pledged to quickly avenge its heaviest ever military loss after 45 of its soldiers were killed in Friday's missile attack, along with 10 Saudis and five Bahrainis.

The UAE is part of the Arab coalition formed in March aimed at stopping the Iran-backed rebels from taking full control of Yemen and at restoring the rule of exiled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
