On March 25, Saudi Arabia launched the first air strike on targets located in neighboring Yemen.
Codenamed Operation Decisive Storm, the air war was started to counter the Houthi offensive on Aden, the provisional capital town of the internationally recognized yet domestically contested Yemeni government.
As Yemeni President Abd Rabbu Mansur Hadi fled Aden for Saudi Arabia, the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) along with several regional militaries launched the first raids against the Houthis, who are allied with Yemen’s ousted former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Warplanes from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain are taking part in the operation.
The following footage shows RSAF Tornado IDS, F-15S and Eurofighter Typhoon jets launch from and return to King Khalid airbase.
Noteworthy, the clip also shows one of the four Sudanese Air Force Su-24Ms that are taking part in the coalition air strikes in Yemen.
