Major General Nasser Al-Atafi, in a speech at the end of the term of commanders of brigades, battalions and companies of reserve forces in the fifth military district of the Yemeni army, on Sanaa’s adherence to all charters and covenants between International, which does not violate Yemen’s dignity and sovereignty, emphasized and continued: We are in charge of ensuring the security of shipping in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait, and no one will have sovereignty over our territorial waters and over the new geopolitics of Yemen. Yemen is an independent and powerful country that has a wide and effective presence in international forums. The structure of maritime security in the Red and Arab seas was properly restored after the Zionist regime’s car-smuggling in these seas, which has always been a constant source of threat, was stopped.

The Minister of Defense of Yemen emphasized: As long as the massacre and killing of the Zionist regime in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories remains in force, we will fulfill our duties against this We continue the usurping regime and our operations do not stop. This is a promise that we have made and we will not back down from it, and we have fulfilled every promise we have made.
