Sana'a: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has issued a significant statement highlighting the ongoing challenges with Saudi Arabia, focusing on its military presence in Yemen. The Ministry accused Saudi Arabia of deploying forces to occupy the nation, inflict casualties, and decimate Yemen's infrastructure through airstrikes, while also maintaining a blockade that severely impacts the Yemeni population.
According to Yemen News Agency, recent reports indicate that Saudi military aircraft conducted 54 airstrikes in the past day, utilizing F-15 and Typhoon jets. These aircraft reportedly launched from bases located in Khamis Mushait and Taif, targeting key areas including Taiz, Lahj, Al-Jawf, Marib, and Hajjah governorates.
The Ministry addressed concerns over the Bab al-Mandab Strait, asserting that the area remains secure for navigation and criticized Saudi Arabia for attempting to mislead international perception with unsubstantiated claims. It underscored that Sanaa's reports about Saudi military actions are validated by statements from Saudi military leaders, reinforcing the credibility of their position.
Additionally, the Ministry justified Sanaa's right to counteract Saudi military advancements, stating that these forces do not represent Yemeni interests as they are directed by foreign influences. The statement concluded with a call for international intervention, urging the global community to demand an end to Saudi interference in Yemeni internal affairs.
