Zabid:The Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Investment, together with the General Corporation for Spinning and Weaving, has condemned the recent targeting of the cotton gin in the Zabid District of Al-Hudaydah Governorate by Saudi air forces.
According to Yemen News Agency, the Ministry and the Corporation issued a joint statement denouncing the three airstrikes conducted by the Saudi enemy on the Zabid cotton gin. These attacks caused significant damage to the facility's machinery, equipment, and production lines, which had already suffered from a previous U.S. airstrike in March 2025.
The statement highlighted that the targeting of the Zabid cotton gin, a civilian facility crucial for cotton farmers and the processing of their harvests, represents a direct assault on agricultural and industrial activities. It also threatens the production chain, the livelihoods of farmers and workers, and the broader economic activities linked to the facility.
