News - Yemen: The Political Bureau of Ansarullah has commended Yemen’s security agencies for their outstanding achievements in exposing espionage cells linked to aggression forces. It described the uncovering of hostile activities by British and Saudi intelligence as a significant preemptive strike, on par with military victories.

The Bureau emphasized that Yemen's sovereignty is now a tangible reality, a testament to the importance of the September 21 Revolution and the greatness of the Quranic project. It noted that this intelligence triumph was made possible through Yemen's steadfast, faith-driven stance in supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The statement highlighted that this success reflects the resilience and vigilance of the Yemeni people, along with their deepening faith-based awareness and strong national consciousness.

While applauding the efforts of the security agencies, the Bureau issued a stern warning to the countries involved in recruiting espionage cells. It cautioned against any actions that threaten Yemen's security, stability, or sovereignty.

The Bureau concluded by affirming that all those participating in unlawful activities against Yemen will face decisive and deterrent punishment.

In a series of security operations, Yemen's national security agency has uncovered and dismantled a network of espionage activities orchestrated by British intelligence agency MI6 in collaboration with Saudi intelligence services. The revelations are part of a broader pattern of intensified covert operations by what Yemen refers to as the "Axis of Evil," comprising the United States, Britain, and the Zionist entity.

The network's objectives included collecting intelligence on Yemen's strategic capabilities, particularly its rocketry force and drone operations, as well as military and security installations. Surveillance efforts also extended to tracking the movements and residences of senior state officials. These activities aimed to undermine Yemen’s sovereignty, destabilize the nation, and strengthen external enemies’ positions.

The investigation revealed that British intelligence leveraged Saudi territory as a staging ground for these activities. Recruited agents were trained and deployed with specific missions and coordinates, often communicated through Saudi intermediaries. This collaboration highlights the deepening ties between British and Saudi intelligence operations in targeting Yemen.

The December 2024 operation, which led to the arrest of individuals linked to this network, is part of a continuing trend. In June 2024, Yemeni security forces dismantled another extensive espionage network operating under the directives of US and Israeli intelligence agencies. This network had infiltrated Yemeni government departments for nearly a decade, collecting sensitive information, influencing policy decisions, and conducting operations to destabilize the nation’s infrastructure, including its health and education systems.

These espionage activities are viewed as an extension of the aggression Yemen has faced since the escalation of its support for the Palestinian cause and its missile and drone operations against the Zionist entity. The dismantling of such networks underscores Yemen's heightened vigilance in protecting its sovereignty and countering external threats.
