UAE fighter jets on Friday launched an airstrike against a number of Houthi militia targets in Yemen in honor of the first Saudi soldier killed in “Operation Decisive Storm.”

Sulieman bin Ali Al Harazi Al Maliki was killed in a firefight with Houthi rebels on the Saudi-Yemen border early Thursday morning.

In a statement by UAE press agency WAM, the airstrike was described as “successful” as fighter jets struck a surface-to-air missile base and a radar site in Maarib and returned to their bases safely.

WAM published images of UAE fighter pilots writing Maliki’s name on their jets before carrying out the airstrike.

Saudi Arabia and nine regional allies, including the UAE, have waged 10 days of air strikes against the Houthis to try to stem their advances and to support legitimate President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi, who fled Aden for Saudi Arabia more than a week ago.

Earlier, Saudi-led airstrikes were launched by against the Houthis’ military sites in the capital Sanaa, on the outskirts of Aden, and the province of Saada and Hejja on the Saudi-Yemeni border.

On Friday morning, the air campaign – labeled “Operation Decisive Storm” supplied Southern People's Resistance fighters loyal to Yemen's President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi with more weapons as they defend central Aden.

According to the “Aden al-Ghad” newspaper, which published photos of the operation, the weapons were supplied by aircrafts flying over various locations in Aden.

Do we need more transporters? I don't think so. Saudi Arabia has the C-130, Qatar and UAE has the C-17 GlobalMaster. Enough to mobilize troops and evacuate when needed.

lol no buddy thats not a transporter at all. check out the video. its a mini AC-130U gunship. or a long range Apache helicopter
it got missiles rockets and a 3omm canon

its perfect for the condition in yemen and for back up.

i always said saudi needs to get the big one. we need it badly. the AC-130U spooky. now they are coming up with versions that carry missiles as well.
and we need the mistral class ship. 2 of them.
and in case we will ever fight iran we need the B-1B lancer.
the first 2 are a must. we need them ASAP.
the B-1B its important but we can live without it.
