[00:04:33] flight from The member of the Leadership Council stressed the importance of paying attention to the performance

[00:04:40] and cut off the road between
[00:04:43] militias, who do not Dhubab and Mocha.
[00:04:44] a civilian aircraft approaching The council considered that this strategic shift in
[00:04:47] the most important waterways in the world will strip
[00:04:50] the militia of a bargaining chip for international navigation,
[00:04:53] pointing out that the Houthi militia's attack on Aden Airport
[00:04:57] International, coinciding with its attacks on airports
[00:05:00] and civilian facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:05:03] Arabia, is nothing but
[00:05:05] in areas under the control of the Houthi militias not a cowardly terrorist act by a militia collapsing
[00:05:09] militarily and trying to cover up its defeat
[00:05:13] with the blood of civilians. Dr. Al-Zindani said that the militia,
[00:05:16] having been disrupted by the strikes of Operation Dawn of Yemen, and its loss of Bab
[00:05:20] al-Mandab, moved the battle to civilians and civilian
[00:05:24] facilities, in one aggressive approach that targets
[00:05:27] Yemen and the Kingdom and threatens the security of the region
[00:05:30] and the safety of air and maritime navigation. He stressed
[00:05:34] that Houthi terrorism will not change the course of the battle and will not
[00:05:37] stop its progress and will not turn back the clock,
[00:05:41] affirming that the government is not managing
[00:05:44] a temporary defensive phase and is not waiting for
[00:05:47] events, but rather leading state institutions in a national
[00:05:50] battle to restore its authority. He said,
[00:05:56] the field, and citizens are bearing the consequences of this
[00:05:59] phase, and the government must prove that
[00:06:04] working. This is not a normal
[00:06:07] administrative phase, and this is a battle government
[00:06:10] to restore state authority, and our responsibility is to win,
[00:06:14] just as our forces are winning in the fields of heroism,
[00:06:17] sacrifice, and redemption." The Prime Minister directed
[00:06:20] all executive authorities to move from a reactive approach to
[00:06:24] proactive action, raise readiness to its highest level,
[00:06:27] and provide all requirements for the armed forces
[00:06:30] and military formations, security, and popular
[00:06:34] resistance, and protect civilians and facilities, and ensure the continuation
[00:06:37] of services, pointing out that this fateful battle
[00:06:40] is not for a front or a city
[00:06:44] only, but a battle to restore state authority
[00:06:47] and sovereignty, and protect Yemen and the region,
[00:06:52] the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb strait from Houthi
[00:06:55] Iranian threats. The Council of Ministers approved a draft
[00:06:59] law on classifying the Houthi group as a terrorist organization
[00:07:03] and criminalizing its activities and financing, based on the presentation
[00:07:06] submitted by the Minister of Legal Affairs, and directed
[00:07:09] the completion of the necessary constitutional and legal
[00:07:14] the law. The Council of Ministers heard a briefing from the Minister of
[00:07:18] Defense on the field developments and the level of
[00:07:21] readiness and the necessary needs to continue
[00:07:23] operations, and declared its full support for the operation
[00:07:27] and the harnessing of all state capabilities to support it.
[00:07:30] He affirmed that any temporary complications in some
[00:07:33] fronts are normal for battles and will not affect
[00:07:37] the national goal, and confirmed that the operation is ongoing
[00:07:40] until the objectives of Operation Dawn of Yemen
[00:07:44] territories are liberated, reaching the capital Sana'a. The Council
[00:07:47] extended a salute of reverence and appreciation to the heroes from the Southern Giants
[00:07:51] Brigades and Homeland Shield, and the army and popular
[00:07:54] resistance, who wrote heroic epics in Bab
[00:07:57] al-Mandab and the rest of the fronts, and offered condolences to the martyrs and wished
[00:08:01] the wounded a speedy recovery. He stressed that the battle is a comprehensive
[00:08:05] national and existential one that requires political,
[00:08:08] economic, security, humanitarian,
[00:08:11] and media readiness, and that the government will harness all
[00:08:14] state institutions to support the fronts, protect
[00:08:17] civilians, and strengthen the resilience of society. The Council praised the support
[00:08:21] of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership, government, and people,
[00:08:25] and the role of the coalition to support legitimacy in supporting the operations
[00:08:28] of Operation Dawn of Yemen, affirming that the two countries represent a single
[00:08:31] security system and destiny in facing a cross-border
[00:08:35] threat represented by the Houthi militia supported by Iran,
[00:08:39] and that their security is indivisible.
[00:08:42] The Council saluted the growing popular and tribal
[00:08:45] rallying around the battle, considering it a sweeping
[00:08:49] national will to turn the page on the coup irrevocably,
[00:08:52] and affirmed that the militia's crimes against civilians,
[00:08:56] especially in Taiz Governorate, will not be subject to
[00:08:59] statutes of limitations, and their perpetrators will not escape punishment.
[00:09:03] In return, he reiterated that the door to returning to the national
[00:09:06] side is still open to those who have been misled under the general amnesty announced
[00:09:10] by His Excellency the President of the Presidential Leadership
[00:09:12] Council, calling on citizens in areas under militia
[00:09:15] control to refuse to sacrifice their children as fuel
[00:09:19] for absurd battles that serve an Iranian project that does not want
[00:09:22] security, stability, or a state for Yemen. Regarding the attack on
[00:09:26] Aden Airport, the Council reviewed an initial report
[00:09:30] from the Minister of Transport on the missile and drone attack
[00:09:34] that exposed the lives of passengers, workers, and aircrews
[00:09:37] to direct danger, and the urgent measures taken by the competent
[00:09:41] authorities, including diverting the Yemeni Airways
[00:09:46] Cairo to Jeddah and evacuating aircraft, passengers,
[00:09:49] and workers from dangerous areas. He stressed
[00:09:53] that bombing a civilian airport with
[00:09:56] landing is a very
[00:09:59] serious crime and a blatant violation of the rules for protecting
[00:10:02] civil aviation, and directed the completion of its documentation and the referral
[00:10:06] of its file to the competent international authorities and organizations and the taking
[00:10:10] of necessary legal measures. The Council then reviewed the report of the Minister of
[00:10:14] Interior on the security situation in Aden and the liberated governorates
[00:10:17] and directed raising security vigilance to its highest levels
[00:10:21] and dealing firmly and without leniency with any
[00:10:25] attempt to destabilize security or exploit military
[00:10:28] developments. He praised the popular initiatives and the convoys
[00:10:32] of support heading to the fronts, commending the efforts
[00:10:35] of the community support campaign led by the Minister of Youth and Sports.
[00:10:39] The Council of Ministers extended its sincerest condolences and sympathy to
[00:10:42] the Saudi leadership, the Kingdom's government,
[00:10:45] and its brotherly people, and to the families of the victims in the cowardly
[00:10:49] terrorist crime that targeted King Khalid
[00:10:52] International Airport in Riyadh, asking God to have mercy
[00:10:55] on them and grant the injured a speedy
[00:10:58] recovery, affirming that what the terrorist
[00:11:02] Houthi militia committed against innocent travelers and workers
[00:11:06] is a full-fledged war crime that
[00:11:09] reveals again that this group has no respect
[00:11:12] for blood or weight,
[00:11:15] with a clear condemnation and accountability for those
[00:11:18] responsible for this crime and those who provide them with weapons,
[00:11:21] as leniency with this militia comes at
[00:11:24] a price for civilians, Yemen, and the region. The Council praised
[00:11:27] the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin
[00:11:31] Abdulaziz Al Saud, in response to the request of His Excellency
[00:11:35] the President of the Presidential Leadership Council to regularize
[00:11:39] the Kingdom irregularly and grant them the necessary
[00:11:43] facilitations. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[00:11:47] Brothers and sisters, members of the
[00:11:53] the interim capital, Aden.
[00:11:55] Our country is going through a critical and exceptional phase,
[00:11:59] with the continuation of Operation Dawn of Yemen, which was launched to restore
[00:12:02] state authority and liberate the remaining Yemeni territories,
[00:12:06] reaching the capital, Sana'a.
[00:12:10] What happened with the cowardly terrorist attack on King
[00:12:14] Khalid Airport in Riyadh yesterday confirms that the Houthi
[00:12:17] terrorist militia, carrying out Iran's directives, seeks to kill
[00:12:21] innocent people and destroy vital facilities in Yemen
[00:12:25] and the Kingdom, and has no regard for the sanctity of civilians or civilian
[00:12:28] objects, and does not attach any weight to the lives of innocent people or
[00:12:32] international humanitarian law. This
[00:12:35] is a full-fledged terrorist crime that
[00:12:38] must be held accountable, along with its supporters in Iran.
[00:12:42] Therefore, we call on the international community and the Security Council to bear their legal
[00:12:46] and moral responsibilities in this regard.
[00:12:50] While we condemn this heinous
[00:12:53] the victims and wish a speedy recovery
[00:12:56] to the injured, and we affirm
[00:12:59] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we will face the Houthi
[00:13:02] terrorism supported by the Iranian regime. Brothers
[00:13:05] and sisters, ministers,
[00:13:09] the armed forces, the Southern Giants Brigades, the Homeland Shield,
[00:13:13] and the various military formations and popular
[00:13:16] resistance, with the support of the coalition to support legitimacy led by the Kingdom
[00:13:20] of Saudi Arabia, have made significant progress
[00:13:23] on a number of fronts. Most notably, the control of the Bab
[00:13:27] al-Mandab Strait, the liberation of Dhubab, and strategic positions
[00:13:31] in its vicinity, and the cutting of the road between Dhubab and Mocha, which is
[00:13:34] a strategic shift that will strip
[00:13:37] the Houthi terrorist militias and the Iranian regime of a card to threaten international
[00:13:40] navigation and the security of the region and the world. As is the custom
[00:13:44] of the Houthi militias in terrorism and criminality, when they feel
[00:13:47] that they are heading towards their demise, they resort to
[00:13:51] escalation by targeting civilian objects and civilians, and therefore
[00:13:55] Aden International Airport was targeted with missiles and drones
[00:13:59] previous targets of airports and civilian objects in the Kingdom
[00:14:03] of Saudi Arabia. Targeting airports and civilians will not
[00:14:07] change the course of the battle and will not stop
[00:14:10] its progress and will not turn back the clock,
[00:14:13] and what happened with temporary complications in some fronts,
[00:14:17] which is the nature of military operations, our goal is steadfast
[00:14:20] and will not change, and we are moving forward until the goals of Operation Dawn of Yemen
[00:14:24] are fully achieved. Brothers and sisters, this fateful
[00:14:27] battle is not for a front or
[00:14:30] a city. It is a battle to restore state authority and sovereignty
[00:14:34] and protect civilians and secure Yemen and the region
[00:14:40] Houthi Iranian threats and achieve the aspirations
[00:14:44] of Yemenis for security and stability and building a state of law
[00:14:47] and order.
[00:14:52] does not see Yemen, north and south, and
[00:14:55] does not differentiate in targeting between one governorate and another, and
[00:14:58] does not recognize political pluralism or the right of Yemenis to choose
[00:15:01] their future. What happened at Aden International Airport is another message
[00:15:05] to everyone about the nature of the Houthi
[00:15:08] hesitate to expose the lives of civilians and civil
[00:15:11] aviation to danger. We commend the popular and tribal rallying around this
[00:15:15] fateful battle, as the rallying of the people around their political leadership and the heroes of the armed
[00:15:19] forces is the actual support for the state's victory over terrorism
[00:15:22] and its militias, and it is what leads to the end
[00:15:25] of the Houthi coup irrevocably. We call upon our people
[00:15:30] to allow their children to be used as fuel for absurd battles that
[00:15:34] serve an Iranian project that does not want peace, stability,
[00:15:38] or a state for Yemen. My brothers and sisters, what
[00:15:41] our country is going through today is not a normal administrative phase,
[00:15:45] and the government, while fighting to restore the territories under the control
[00:15:49] of the terrorist Houthi militia and extend its influence
[00:15:52] over the entire national territory and its sovereignty,
[00:15:55] will work to harness all resources and capabilities to achieve
[00:15:59] these goals. We highly appreciate the support
[00:16:03] provided by the coalition led by the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we appreciate
[00:16:06] the Kingdom, its government, and its people for their steadfast stance
[00:16:10] alongside Yemen and its legitimate leadership in the battle to restore
[00:16:13] its state, security, and stability, affirming that
[00:16:16] the security of Yemen and the Kingdom is one and indivisible,
[00:16:22] In conclusion, we affirm that we will be where the government
[00:16:25] should be, in Aden, in the field, and on the fronts,
[00:16:29] alongside the citizen, state institutions, the armed forces,
[00:16:32] military formations, security, and popular resistance
[00:16:35] until the republic regains its full capabilities over its sovereignty
[00:16:39] and authority, from Al-Mahra to Sa'ada. A salute of reverence
[00:16:43] and appreciation to our heroes on all
[00:16:46] the Arab coalition to support legitimacy led by the brotherly Kingdom of
[00:16:49] Saudi Arabia. Mercy and eternity to the martyrs, and a speedy
[00:17:03] for the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, Major General
[00:17:07] Turki Al-Malki, announced that air defenses intercepted
[00:17:11] and destroyed a cruise missile near King Khalid
[00:17:14] International Airport. Al-Malki also stated in tweets on the
[00:17:18] X platform that an attack with an unknown projectile
[00:17:22] occurred at passenger terminal number four at King Khalid
[00:17:25] International Airport, resulting in
[00:17:28] Yemen, Major General Turki Al-Malki, stated that air
[00:17:31] defenses intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile in the vicinity
[00:17:35] of King Khalid International Airport. Al-Malki also stated in
[00:17:39] tweets on the X platform that an attack with an unknown
[00:17:43] projectile occurred at passenger terminal number four
[00:17:46] at King Khalid International Airport, resulting in a fire.
[00:17:49] The stability of the Kingdom is a fundamental pillar for the security of Yemen
[00:17:53] and the Arab region, and any threat to the land of the Two Holy
[00:17:56] Mosques and the holy sites of Muslims affects
[00:17:59] the conscience of the entire Islamic nation and calls for
[00:18:02] its solidarity in confronting all that targets its sanctity or threatens
[00:18:06] its stability. The Parliament expressed its sincerest
[00:18:10] condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery
[00:18:13] to the injured, reaffirming its solidarity with the Kingdom in
[00:18:17] confronting all that affects its security
[00:18:19] and sovereignty.
[00:18:23] For its part, our country's government expressed its full
[00:18:27] solidarity and steadfast support for the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
[00:18:30] its leadership, government, and people, and condemned in the strongest
[00:18:34] terms the terrorist attack that targeted King
[00:18:38] Khalid International Airport in the capital, Riyadh, in a dangerous
[00:18:41] hostile escalation that embodies the insistence of the terrorist
[00:18:43] Houthi militia on threatening the security of the Kingdom and targeting civilian
[00:18:47] facilities and endangering the lives of civilians.
[00:18:50] A statement issued by the Council of Ministers affirmed that
[00:18:53] targeting airports and civilian facilities
[00:18:56] represents an unacceptable aggression against the security and stability
[00:19:00] of states and a violation of international rules
[00:19:03] and laws, and reveals once again the aggressive
[00:19:07] militia, which does not hesitate to expand the scope
[00:19:10] of its threats and undermine
[00:19:13] the region in service of the Iranian agenda and its destructive
[00:19:16] projects. The statement stressed that the security of the Kingdom
[00:19:21] part of the security of Yemen and the region, and any targeting
[00:19:24] of its territory or civilian facilities is an aggression against
[00:19:28] the right of the peoples of the region to security and stability, freedom
[00:19:31] of movement, and the safety of air navigation.
[00:19:34] The Yemeni government reiterated its appreciation
[00:19:37] for the pivotal role played by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:19:40] under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz
[00:19:44] Al Saud, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chairman
[00:19:47] of the Council of Ministers, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in supporting Yemen
[00:19:51] and its legitimate leadership, and supporting its people in restoring
[00:19:54] its state and institutions, and enhancing the security and stability
[00:19:57] of the region. It stressed
[00:20:00] that these attacks will not deter Yemenis from
[00:20:04] restoring state authority over the entire national territory and ending
[00:20:07] the Houthi coup, and that confronting this danger
[00:20:11] requires a responsible international stance that goes beyond statements
[00:20:14] of condemnation to practical measures that protect
[00:20:18] civilians and preserve the security
[00:20:19] and stability of the region.
[00:20:24] The Presidium of the Shura Council and its members also
[00:20:27] condemned the Houthi attack that targeted King Khalid
[00:20:30] International Airport in Riyadh and resulted in the death of Saudi

[00:22:46] the attack carried out by the Houthi terrorist
[00:22:49] militia, the Iranian regime, on King Khalid
[00:22:52] International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, which resulted in

[00:23:07] innocent people is a crime prohibited by the consensus of Muslims,
[00:23:12] corruption on earth, and there is no excuse for its perpetrators by any

[00:23:23] added that the Yemeni Scholars Association, while expressing
[00:23:27] its condolences to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership, government,

[00:23:39] Prior to the terrorist attack launched by the Houthi militia, supported by
[00:23:43] Iran, on King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital,
[00:23:48] Yemeni, Arab, Islamic, and international
[00:23:52] condemnations, with assurances that targeting civilian
[00:23:56] facilities and airports constitutes a flagrant violation
[00:23:59] of international law and a threat to regional security and air
[00:24:01] navigation. Now to the details. A war crime and a cross-border
[00:24:05] terrorist attack, that is what the targeting
[00:24:08] by the Houthi terrorist militia, supported by Iran, of King Khalid International Airport
[00:24:12] in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, represents, in
[00:24:15] a hostile escalation that reveals once
[00:24:18] again the nature of this militia and its approach
[00:24:22] based on threatening civilians and targeting
[00:24:25] civilian facilities and exporting violence
[00:24:28] and chaos to the countries of the region. The terrorist
[00:24:31] attack sparked a widespread wave of Yemeni, Arab,
[00:24:35] Islamic, and international
[00:24:37] condemnations, amid confirmation that targeting
[00:24:41] airports and vital facilities constitutes a blatant
[00:24:44] violation of international law and international humanitarian law
[00:24:47] and a direct threat to regional security
[00:24:50] and the safety of air navigation.
[00:24:56] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, stressing
[00:24:59] that the Kingdom's security is an indivisible part of the security of
[00:25:03] Yemen and the region, and that the Houthi attacks
[00:25:06] are an extension of the militia's approach in undermining state institutions
[00:25:10] and threatening stability and serving
[00:25:13] the agenda of the Iranian regime and its expansionist
[00:25:15] projects. Internationally, Washington described
[00:25:19] the attacks as horrific and unacceptable, while
[00:25:22] the European Commission warned of a dangerous escalation
[00:25:26] that threatens the stability of the region and global energy
[00:25:29] security. Britain, Canada, India,
[00:25:32] and Romania also condemned the Houthi attacks,
[00:25:35] affirming their rejection of targeting civilians and civilian
[00:25:39] infrastructure. On the Arab and Islamic levels,
[00:25:42] the positions of the Arab League, the Gulf
[00:25:46] Cooperation Council, the Muslim World League, Pakistan,
[00:25:50] and Brunei, along with Egypt, Jordan,
[00:25:52] Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Syria, Palestine,
[00:25:56] and Lebanon, were unified in condemning the attack and affirming
[00:25:59] support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These
[00:26:02] positions confirm that confronting Houthi terrorism
[00:26:06] requires moving beyond statements of condemnation to serious
[00:26:09] international action that deters the aggressive Houthi terrorist militia,
[00:26:13] protects civilians, and ensures that it does not
[00:26:16] escape accountability for these terrorist crimes,
[00:26:19] and preserves the security and stability of the region, as well
[00:26:23] as the security of international
[00:26:26] navigation.
[00:26:29] The armed forces directed concentrated strikes
[00:26:33] at the positions and vehicles of the Houthi terrorist militia in
[00:26:35] the militia's fronts, which resulted in
[00:26:38] the destruction of artillery and the death of its crew. The
[00:26:42] operations resulted in the death and injury of dozens of Houthi terrorist
[00:26:46] militia elements.
[00:26:50] The air force of the armed forces targeted positions,
[00:26:53] concentrations, and vehicles belonging
[00:26:56] to the Houthi militias, supported by the Iranian regime, in Taiz
[00:27:00] governorate. The September Net website, affiliated with the Ministry
[00:27:03] of Defense, stated that the raids targeted
[00:27:06] gatherings of Houthi militias in the Al-Siyahi
[00:27:09] area west of Taiz and positions in the Al-Hawban area
[00:27:13] and Al-60th Street north of the city. It added that the raids
[00:27:17] targeted a concentration of militias on Softel Hill
[00:27:20] east of the city and other positions on Al-Ja'sha Hill
[00:27:23] and Al-Maqrami area east of Taiz, referring to
[00:27:27] inflicting losses on the Houthi terrorist militias,
[00:27:32] the
[00:27:36] along the fronts of Taiz. Confrontations continue and the
[00:27:39] armed forces and heroes of the popular resistance
[00:27:42] repel simultaneous attacks from the east and south of the city to
[00:27:46] its western and northern axes. In Safa
[00:27:49] and Kilab, northeast of Taiz, battles continue in
[00:27:52] a scene that embodies the steadfastness of the fighters
[00:27:55] and their adherence to their positions.
