News - Yemen: The head of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat, stressed the need for continuous training and rehabilitation of the Armed Forces, in this period.

The president also praised the efforts and sacrifices of the people of Al-Baidha governorate in confronting the US-Saudi aggression, praising librateing it of takfiri members of Al-Qaeda and Daesh.

Sana'a realizes, from the first day of the aggression, that dividing Yemen and controlling the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and occupying its vital ports and islands is one of the main goals of launching the aggression led by the US, Britain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Therefore, despite the aggression and blockade, Sana'a was able to go a long way in rebuilding its naval strategy, and its military capabilities, which are increasingly providing efficient and growing in deterrence.

The massive military parade that took place in Sana’a and Hodeidah recently also revealed new high-precision naval and air weapons systems, such as the anti-ship missiles, and the Zulfiqar ballistic missiles.

In late December, Yemen's Minister of Defense Major General Mohammad Al-Atifi confirmed that the maritime security of Yemen’s territorial waters will be a priority in the next stage.

He explained that the Armed Forces have taken all measures to ensure that they deal forcefully and firmly with any development that poses a threat or prejudice to national maritime sovereignty.

"The Armed Forces are concerned with following disciplinary methods for those who plunder or tamper with the rights of the Yemeni people, and there are disciplinary options that will be taken and announced in due course," he added. "We have options for which no one will blame us if we resort to them, because we have provided all means to reach a positive end, but the enemy refuses."

Al-Atifi stated that the Armed Forces, from their patriotic defensive position, will never allow the societal fabric of the people of Yemen to be affected along the Yemeni map.
