The Yemeni Presidential Council has reaffirmed its commitment to continuing the "Fajr Yemen" operation until its objectives are achieved. The operation, launched on October 5, aims to end the Houthi coup, restore state institutions, and assert state sovereignty over all Yemeni territories. According to the council, the Yemeni armed forces have carried out 40,761 military targeting operations in various fronts since October 5.
The military operations have resulted in the neutralization of nearly 20,000 Houthi leaders and elements, as well as the destruction and disablement of over 5,000 vehicles. The council praised the performance of the armed forces, security agencies, and popular resistance, highlighting their efforts in the face of Houthi aggression. The situation in the city of Taiz was also addressed, with the council commending the resilience of its residents in the face of siege and bombardment.
The Yemeni Presidential Council expressed its appreciation for Saudi Arabia's support, citing its role in backing Yemeni state institutions, contributing to salary payments, and alleviating humanitarian conditions. The council also acknowledged the efforts of the Saudi-led coalition for supporting legitimacy and the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Works, as well as the Saudi Program for Development and Reconstruction of Yemen.
In a related context, the council urged citizens in Houthi-controlled areas to reject the recruitment of their children and prevent the use of civilian homes and facilities for military purposes. The council emphasized the importance of protecting civilians and their property. Furthermore, it stressed that the state's responsibilities extend beyond the military aspect to include regular salary payments, continued services, and care for those affected.
The council also highlighted the importance of enhancing the role of local authorities. As the "Fajr Yemen" operation, launched by Yemeni Presidential Council head Rashad Al-Alimi on October 5, enters its second month, military operations continue on several fronts between government forces and Houthi militias. The operation seeks to assert control over state institutions and liberate the capital, Sana'a, from Houthi militias.
The ongoing military operations aim to bring stability to Yemen and restore state authority. The Yemeni Presidential Council's stance reflects its commitment to achieving the goals of the "Fajr Yemen" operation. The situation in Yemen remains a critical concern for regional and international stakeholders.
