Arábia Saudita faz 40 ataques aéreos no Iémen após investida dos hutis

 


Os ataques sauditas ocorreram após os hutis terem atacado o país vizinho e provocarem incêndios em instalações petrolíferas.

A Arábia Saudita realizou cerca de 40 ataques aéreos no Iémen nas últimas horas, afirmaram as forças hutis, apoiados pelo Irão, após novos ataques contra o território saudita.

"A aviação do inimigo saudita realizou cerca de 40 ataques nas últimas horas nas províncias de Taiz, Hodeida, Al-Jawf e Marib", informou a agência de notícias "Saba", das forças hutis que controlam parte do território do Iémen, incluindo a capital, Sana.

Os ataques aéreos sauditas atingiram quatro províncias iemenitas, depois de ataques hutis contra a Arábia Saudita terem provocado incêndios em várias instalações petrolíferas provocando dezenas de feridos.

Entretanto, as forças xiitas hutis do Iémen assumiram o controlo de toda a província de Al-Hodeida (oeste) depois de expulsarem as tropas do Governo reconhecido internacionalmente da cidade de Hays, e encontram-se a cerca de 15 quilómetros do porto de Mocha, no Mar Vermelho.

De acordo com a agência de notícias espanhola "EFE", a ofensiva intensificou-se durante a última noite, quando os hutis completaram a tomada do distrito de Hays, a sul da província costeira de Al-Hodeida, sendo que as tropas leais ao Governo reconhecido foram obrigadas a recuar em direção a Mocha, a cerca de 80 quilómetros de distância.

Anteriormente, os meios de comunicação estatais iranianos informaram que as forças do Irão atingiram vários navios-tanque e duas embarcações norte-americanas em retaliação a ataques norte-americanos contra navios iranianos na terça-feira.

As forças armadas dos Estados Unidos negaram que os navios de guerra norte-americanos tenham sido atingidos.

‘Smell’ of war comes to St Petersburg as Ukraine hammers Russian refineries

Imagem
  Ukraine aims to drain Russia’s war chest with drone strikes on Pokrovsk and Ust-Luga oil facilities on the Baltic Sea. Konstantin can smell the consequences of the war in Ukraine from his apartment in St Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city and President Vladimir Putin’s hometown. Over the past two weeks, the asthmatic 53-year-old, whose full name has been withheld for fear of repercussions, has been sporadically aware of the odour of burning crude, fuel and other chemicals ignited by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia’s two largest oil terminals on the Baltic, which handle two-fifths of Moscow’s seaborne oil exports and almost 2 percent of global oil supply, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The attacks are part of  Kyiv’s wider effort  to hit more than a dozen oil refineries deep in Russia and, ultimately, to reduce Moscow’s  unexpected windfall income  from oil exports after Washington and Tel Aviv began bombarding Iran at the end of Fe...

  Trump says he persuaded Israel and Hezbollah to halt attacks, seeking to prevent a wider war in Lebanon. United States President Donald Trump said on Monday that Hezbollah and Israel have  agreed to halt hostilities  in a major de-escalation effort after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Monday. Netanyahu’s office on Monday said attacks on Beirut would proceed if Hezbollah continued attacks on Israeli cities, while military operations in southern Lebanon would continue as “planned”. The situation was further complicated by warnings from Iran.
