RNA - "A total number of four C130 cargo planes carrying a large amount of weapons and ammunition have landed in Aden Airport in the Southern part of Yemen," a security source said.

He noted that the US planes landed amid tight security measures as the Saudi-led fighter jets and helicopters were flying over Aden airport to ensure the safe landing of the US cargo planes.

"The weapons will be used for occupation of al-Hudayda port in Western Yemen which is adjacent to the Red Sea," the source added.

In relevant remarks in late March, Head of the Supreme Political Council of Yemen Saleh al-Sammad underlined that Washington and London are supporting the Riyadh government in its war crimes against civilians in Yemen.

"The US, the UK and the UAE are helping Saudi Arabia to gain domination over the Yemeni people," al-Sammad said.

He reiterated that the Yemeni people really want peace, and appreciated the Yemeni nation's resistance.

In relevant remarks on Sunday, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, blasted Washington and Tel Aviv for supporting the Riyadh government in its ongoing attacks on the Yemeni civilians.

"Saudi Arabia is the main tool for the attacks on Yemen, while the US and the Zionist regime of Israel are behind the assaults," al-Houthi said while condemning the Saudi attacks on the Yemeni civilians.

"The enemy’s missiles have targeted our children," the Ansarullah leader added.

Al-Houthi underlined that the Yemeni people are fully prepared to sacrifice their lives to preserve their freedom, dignity and independence.

"The presence of Riyadh in Yemen is in line with serving Tel Aviv's interests," the Ansarullah leader said.

In relevant remarks in early February, al-Houthi said that Saudi Arabia is in cahoots with Israel, and therefore considers anyone opposing the policies of the Tel Aviv regime as its own enemy.

Addressing his followers in a speech in the Northern city of Sa’ada and on the occasion of Martyrs’ Day, al-Houthi stated that the Al Saud regime turns hostile toward any nation that resists the hegemonic acts of US and Israeli authorities in the Middle East region.
