RIYADH: As the Houthi group continues its military escalation, the Yemeni Armed Forces said they remain on the highest level of operational readiness and fully prepared to reinforce security and stability and restore state authority across the country’s entire territory.
In exclusive remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, Brig. Gen. Abdo Majali, the official spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, warned against the continued targeting of commercial vessels by what he described as the “Houthi terrorist militias” and their threats to Red Sea security and freedom of international navigation.
He said the attacks reflected “the militias’ connection to the Iranian project aimed at undermining Yemeni and regional national security and threatening international interests.”
Majali said that, under the direction of Yemen’s political leadership, the armed forces continue to coordinate with the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen to deter Houthi threats, secure maritime routes, protect international shipping, and combat Houthi terrorism. He described these efforts as both a national responsibility and a firm commitment to safeguarding the security of Yemen and the region while preserving international peace and security.
