Yemen’s Ansarullah revolutionary group hit back at US on Thursday, stressing that missile attacks on Saudi territories are pure defensive to retaliate Saudi aggression against the Arab impoverished country.

Ansarullah spokesman Mohammad Abdulsalam was responding to White House which condemned Yemeni missile attacks, saying they threaten the region’s security.

Abdulsalam said the missile attacks were pure defensive and vowed they will continue as long as the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen lasts.

Meanwhile, Ansarullah spokesman lashed out at US support to Saudi-led coalition, saying the White House’s remarks prove again the political cover and military support offered to Saudi Arabia and its allies to go ahead with their aggression against Yemen.

Yemen has been since March 2015 under a brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition, in a bid to restore power to fugitive former president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.

Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been injured and martyred in Saudi-led strikes, with the vast majority of them are civilians.

However, the allied forces of the army and popular committees established by Ansarullah revolutionaries have been heroically confronting the aggression with all means.

The Saudi-led coalition – which also includes UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan and Kuwait – has been also imposing a blockade on the impoverished country’s ports and airports as a part of the aggression.
