Yemen's military operations against Houthi rebels are ongoing and will not cease, according to Brigadier General Mohammed Al-Kamim, advisor to the Yemeni Defense Minister. Al-Kamim stated that several objectives have been achieved, including the liberation of Bab al-Mandab, Dhubab, and Mayun Island. He added that military operations are also taking place in Ma'rib, with air strikes and intense aerial coverage.
Al-Kamim made these comments during an interview with Al-Qahera News Channel, highlighting the strategic importance of the region. He noted that the Houthi militia and Iran have suffered significant losses in this theater, which has direct access to Bab al-Mandab. The general emphasized that the Houthis have failed to consolidate their positions in this region and are losing their strategic objective of infiltrating the mountainous areas of Taiz.
The ongoing military operations in various Yemeni fronts are expected to escalate in the coming period. Al-Kamim stressed that the focus on this front in the initial operations to restore the state has strategic, political, and regional implications. He pointed out that the Houthis have deployed their best fighters and weapons in this region, considering it crucial to their goals.
The advisor to the Defense Minister noted that the Houthis' losses in these operations represent a strong message to the Yemeni people and a significant blow to the militia. He anticipated that additional news of victories would emerge in the coming hours and days, including successes in eastern Yemen, specifically in Ma'rib province.
The military operations are being supported by the Arab coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, which provides air cover. Al-Kamim's statements come amid ongoing clashes between Yemeni forces and Houthi rebels. The conflict has been ongoing for several years, with various attempts at peace negotiations.
The situation in Yemen remains volatile, with multiple factions and interests involved. The Houthi militia, backed by Iran, has been fighting the Yemeni government and its allies, including the Arab coalition. The conflict has resulted in significant humanitarian suffering and infrastructure damage.
The Yemeni government's determination to continue military operations against the Houthis is clear, according to Al-Kamim. The advisor emphasized that the military will persist in its efforts to restore state control and stability in the region.
