Yemen: The Saudi claims about the holy places for Islam are lies Yahya Sari, the spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, announced that the Saudi claim about intercepting a missile in Medina's airspace is a lie and is not true. The continued raising of such allegations is consistent with the great accusation against the Yemeni people and the armed forces of this country. Our operations only target Saudi oil facilities and military bases. The people of Yemen have the greatest faith in Islamic holy places, and those who spread debauchery in these places are dangerous to the holy places of Islam.
