[00:01:06] Good evening, dear viewers, and welcome to the news bulletin.
[00:01:10] We begin
[00:01:11] with the two operations.
[00:01:16] The armed forces carried out
[00:01:18] 1879
[00:01:21] and its repercussions, stressing precise targeting operations and neutralized 950 Houthi
[00:01:24] elements and destroyed three operations that resulted, according to initial
[00:01:28] estimates, in the neutralization of 950 elements of the militias
[00:01:32] and the destruction and damage of
[00:01:34] 380 vehicles, armored vehicles, and military
[00:01:38] equipment, in addition to silencing enemy sources
[00:01:42] of fire and disrupting the command, control,
[00:01:45] shipments. It affirmed that and supply system. He indicated that the operations
[00:01:47] targeted the enemy's combat system and included
[00:01:50] fortifications, defensive positions, command and control centers,
[00:01:54] artillery positions, rocket launchers, observation
[00:01:57] and reconnaissance points, assembly and
[00:02:00] reinforcement areas, weapons and ammunition depots,
[00:02:03] vehicles, and transportation
[00:02:05] and supply vehicles. In Taiz, Al-Nazili said that
[00:02:09] the airstrikes crushed the militias' reinforcements and convoys
[00:02:12] pushed to the fronts, scattered their gatherings,
[00:02:16] and disrupted their attempts to support their positions and reorganize
[00:02:19] their forces, adding that the targeting was carried out in accordance
[00:02:23] with the rules of international humanitarian law and in a manner that takes into account
[00:02:26] the principles of distinction and proportionality and taking
[00:02:30] the necessary measures to protect civilians
[00:02:32] transportation for students from and civilian objects.
[00:02:34] The official spokesman for the armed forces indicated that military
[00:02:38] engineering units continue to clear
[00:02:41] in a phone call with recovered sites and areas of mines and explosive devices
[00:02:44] and secure them for the forces and the return of citizens.
[00:02:48] and addressing the existing problems with In
[00:02:51] the Marib governorate fronts, the armed forces continue
[00:02:55] for students from the areas in the second their operations against the Houthi militias supported by
[00:02:58] Iran within the scope of the Seventh Military Region's
[00:03:02] operations theater as part of Operation Yemen Dawn. The armed
[00:03:05] forces are fighting direct
[00:03:08] support for the government's efforts and continuous battles with the rebellion and terrorism militias.
[00:03:11] The armed forces have targeted the militia's capabilities with painful
[00:03:15] strikes carried out by warplanes, drone aircraft, artillery,
[00:03:18] and rocket
[00:03:21] launchers.
[00:03:34] and works in coordination with
[00:03:38] protecting the internal front is an integral
[00:03:45] any circumstances
[00:04:08] In the Marib fronts, the drone aircraft in the Third
[00:04:12] Military Region targeted gatherings
[00:04:14] and reinforcements of the terrorist Houthi militia.
[00:04:28] and military leaders in
[00:04:50] The official spokesman for the administration, a mosque, Saudi-led coalition to support
[00:04:53] legitimacy, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, announced
[00:04:57] authority, in cooperation with the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile launched
[00:04:59] our brothers in the Ministry of Interior, and our brothers in by the terrorist Houthi militias towards Khamis
[00:05:01] Mushait. Al-Maliki also announced earlier the interception
[00:05:07] his full solidarity with and destruction of.
[00:05:14] The official spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition to support
[00:05:17] legitimacy, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, announced
[00:05:20] the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile launched by the terrorist Houthi
[00:05:23] militias towards Khamis Mushait. Al-Maliki also
[00:05:27] announced earlier the interception and destruction of a previous
[00:05:30] interception and destruction of years past. These days, it seeks
[00:05:35] the city to promote its claims of opening
[00:05:38] roads. However, the facts on the ground
[00:05:41] refute its lies and expose its attempts
[00:05:45] to further intensify restrictions and military escalation, which exacerbates the humanitarian
[00:05:48] tragedy and expands the circle of threats
[00:05:52] to include the governorate's districts, rural areas,
[00:05:55] and regions. The Houthi militia's closure of roads
[00:05:59] in Taiz is not just a transient measure accompanying
[00:06:02] its recent escalation, but a prolonged policy during
[00:06:06] the past years of the coup.
[00:06:09] Contrary to its claims, it rejected all
[00:06:13] previous humanitarian and UN initiatives to open roads
[00:06:16] and crossings. It isolated the population from their surroundings
[00:06:19] and imposed on them the hardship of traveling through
[00:06:23] rugged mountain roads and raised the cost of obtaining food, medicine,
[00:06:27] and basic necessities, while shelling, sniping,
[00:06:30] and mines claimed the lives of civilians, and
[00:06:33] thousands of victims fell between dead and wounded.
[00:06:37] Today, the paradox is clear between
[00:06:40] its alleged discourse about opening roads
[00:06:43] and its practices and military battles inside Taiz city, and what
[00:06:47] it causes of threat to the security of the governorate
[00:06:49] and cutting off the arteries of life and supplies,
[00:06:53] and these are practices that contradict its claims.
[00:06:57] More than six million citizens inside Taiz
[00:07:00] city are facing the repercussions of the escalation and the widening
[00:07:03] scope of confrontations in a scene that makes
[00:07:07] the responsibility to end the suffering a humanitarian
[00:07:09] and national priority. Taiz today
[00:07:12] and its people are fighting the national battle against the Houthi
[00:07:16] terrorist militia to end a prolonged siege
[00:07:19] and restore their right to movement
[00:07:23] and a life of safety and dignity.
[00:07:26] The member of the Presidential Leadership Council and Governor of Hadhramaut,
[00:07:29] Salem Al-Khanbashi, discussed with the Shura Council member Sheikh Mohammed bin
[00:07:33] Malik the resumption of work on the Rahab Doa road
[00:07:36] project and addressing the existing problems with the relevant
[00:07:39] authorities. The meeting also discussed the mechanism for providing
[00:07:44] areas of safe life and dignity. The
[00:07:48] member of the Presidential Leadership Council, Governor of Hadhramaut, Salem
[00:07:52] Al-Khanbashi, discussed with the Shura Council member Sheikh Mohammed bin Malik
[00:07:55] the resumption of work on the Rahab Doa road project
[00:08:01] the relevant authorities. The meeting also discussed
[00:08:04] the mechanism for providing transportation
[00:08:07] half of
[00:08:08] the current year.
[00:08:12] The Prime Minister, Dr. Sha'e Mohsen Al-Zindani, praised
[00:08:15] the continuous efforts exerted by the Ministry of Interior
[00:08:19] and the security and intelligence agencies
[00:08:21] after apprehending a number of terrorist cells belonging to the Houthi
[00:08:25] terrorist militia in the interim capital Aden and the governorates of Lahj
[00:08:29] and Abyan, which were planning to target security
[00:08:32] and military leaders and supply lines and reinforcements.
[00:08:36] His Excellency the Prime Minister praised the vigilance and professionalism of the security
[00:08:39] forces who thwarted these plots before they were
[00:08:43] carried out and prevented any harm to the security of citizens and the stability of the liberated
[00:08:46] governorates, emphasizing that
[00:08:50] part of the battle to restore authority and state sovereignty
[00:08:54] within the framework of Operation Yemen Dawn, and that the government
[00:08:57] will continue to provide the necessary support to the security agencies to enhance
[00:09:00] their readiness. The Prime Minister called
[00:09:04] on citizens to continue cooperating with the security
[00:09:07] agencies and report any suspicious activity, stressing that
[00:09:11] those involved will be brought to the competent judiciary to receive
[00:09:14] their just punishment according to the law. He also commended the support
[00:09:18] of the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the security
[00:09:21] agencies.
[00:09:25] The Ministry of Interior announced the apprehension of a number of terrorist cells belonging
[00:09:28] to the Houthi terrorist militia, supported by the Iranian
[00:09:31] regime, during September last month. These cells intended
[00:09:35] to sow chaos and carry out operations targeting security
[00:09:40] the interim capital, Aden, and the governorates of Lahj and Abyan, in addition
[00:09:44] to military reinforcements and logistical
[00:09:47] supply lines. Everything that the Houthi militias have reached
[00:09:51] today bears the fingerprints of Iranian Revolutionary Guard
[00:09:54] and Hezbollah experts, starting from methods
[00:09:57] of recruitment and mobilization, all the way to training and manufacturing,
[00:10:01] including booby traps, explosives, and various types
[00:10:04] of weapons in their possession. We obtained
[00:10:08] information during investigations with elements of the Houthi
[00:10:12] cells that were apprehended, indicating
[00:10:16] that these elements received training courses on
[00:10:20] implementing terrorist plots, planting explosive
[00:10:23] devices and booby traps, and carrying out
[00:10:26] suicide operations
[00:10:29] by experts from the Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah.
[00:10:32] These courses were received in many
[00:10:36] governorates occupied by the Houthis. Investigations also
[00:10:39] revealed that the specialized courses
[00:10:42] for these cells are held
[00:10:46] in Saada governorate under the supervision of advanced Iranian
[00:10:50] experts in the field of terrorist work.
[00:10:53] The last of these apprehended cells at the end
[00:10:56] of last month, in September, was a very
[00:11:00] complex Houthi network consisting of
[00:11:03] 18 terrorist elements, directly supervised
[00:11:06] by the terrorist known as Amjad
[00:11:09] Khalid, along with the terrorist leader Ahmed
[00:11:12] Jurayd, appointed by the Houthi militias as
[00:11:16] governor of Lahj governorate. They received training
[00:11:20] in more than one occupied governorate,
[00:11:23] and the duration of some courses reached
[00:11:26] five months. The
[00:11:29] militias had devoted enormous
[00:11:33] resources to this network and placed great
[00:11:36] hopes on it to implement
[00:11:39] their terrorist plans in the governorates of Aden, Lahj,
[00:11:43] and Abyan. However, those plans failed
[00:11:46] and the network met the same
[00:11:50] fate as the terrorist cells that preceded
[00:11:53] it. We also assure everyone
[00:11:57] that despite the unlimited support provided by
[00:11:59] the Houthi terrorist militias to these cells
[00:12:03] and the direct supervision of Iranian Revolutionary Guard
[00:12:07] and Hezbollah experts over the training
[00:12:10] of its elements, the readiness of the heroes of the Ministry
[00:12:13] of Interior, their vigilance,
[00:12:16] and their bravery, in cooperation with their colleagues in the intelligence
[00:12:19] agencies, contributed to the downfall of these
[00:12:22] cells, to the downfall of these cells successively
[00:12:26] and to inflicting painful blows upon them during
[00:12:29] recent months. These strikes have shattered the militia's
[00:12:33] hopes on these cells to sow
[00:12:36] chaos, undermine security and stability, and disrupt
[00:12:39] the situation on the fighting fronts in the governorates in general,
[00:12:43] and the governorates of Aden, Lahj, and Abyan
[00:12:47] in particular, and to create conditions for them
[00:12:51] to seize control of the rest of the country.
[00:12:56] Despite the losses incurred by the terrorist militia
[00:12:59] cells due to the successive security
[00:13:01] strikes, the militias are still
[00:13:05] pursuing their terrorist approach and their attempts to
[00:13:08] undermine security and stability.
[00:13:12] For his part, the Minister of State and Governor of Aden, Abdul Rahman
[00:13:15] Al-Sheikh, referred to the Houthi terrorist militia's approach
[00:13:18] of exploiting displaced people, and he also referred to the measures taken by the local authority
[00:13:22] to contain the wave of displacement.
[00:13:27] The criminal act which took place
[00:13:30] in the governorate
[00:13:33] of Hodeidah, Taiz, and parts of Lahj
[00:13:36] governorate
[00:13:38] resulted in a sudden and large wave of unexpected
[00:13:42] displacement. Previously, we did
[00:13:44] not have refugee camps,
[00:13:48] but these camps were
[00:13:51] established over 12 years. However,
[00:13:55] in the current situation, we were surprised by large
[00:13:59] numbers. The issue of displaced people is, first
[00:14:02] of all, related to the humanitarian and religious aspects,
[00:14:06] and these are our people, who cannot under
[00:14:10] be
[00:14:13] ignored. However, the matter takes on an administrative
[00:14:17] and organizational character, as well
[00:14:19] as a security precaution, because these large numbers
[00:14:23] are part of the Houthi's exploitation.
[00:14:33] In order to create a kind of confusion and chaos internally, especially in the capital Aden,
[00:14:37] and Lahj and Abyan.
[00:14:39] So, our arrangements were as follows: first, no displaced person
[00:14:43] should enter with weapons. This was the first measure. Second, we established
[00:14:47] immediately, and this was the first time, an initiative from the local authority
[00:14:51] that it would be the one to establish the camps and outside the
[00:14:58] interior. Everyone knows that we, in less than half a month, established a camp with about
[00:15:02] 800 people in it now,
[00:15:06] with all facilities, including a medical
[00:15:09] clinic,
[00:15:12] and classrooms. This
[00:15:15] was something unusual
[00:15:18] in the past, where the local
[00:15:24] the truth, our brothers in the rest of the ministry's
[00:15:28] branches, in the offices, whether health or other, established immediately
[00:15:31] a camp of this size. We received
[00:15:34] about 200 displaced people on the first
[00:15:37] day. In half a month, we reached about 7,000
[00:15:40] displaced people in the camp, and all
[00:15:43] facilities were prepared.
[00:15:46] Furthermore, elements of the terrorist cells belonging to the Houthi
[00:15:49] terrorist militia, supported by the Iranian regime, who were
[00:15:53] apprehended, confessed that they received training in Al-Hawban, Taiz
[00:15:58] of Houthi terrorist leaders. Their plans
[00:16:01] included targeting leaders or
[00:16:04] targeting security and military leaders and vital installations
[00:16:07] in the interim capital, Aden. My name is Walid Saleh Ahmed
[00:16:11] Saleh Al-Houthi terrorist militia, supported by the Iranian
[00:16:15] regime, who were apprehended, confessed that they received
[00:16:18] training in Al-Hawban, Taiz
[00:16:21] of Houthi terrorist leaders. Their plans
[00:16:25] included targeting leaders or targeting
[00:16:28] security and military leaders and vital installations in the interim capital,
[00:16:32] Aden. My name is Walid Saleh Ahmed
[00:16:35] Saleh Saleh Ahmed Saleh. In Aden,
[00:16:38] with me,
[00:16:39] I was
[00:16:48] the goal was to destabilize security within
[00:16:51] Aden governorate
[00:17:02] and provoke.
[00:17:17] The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Dr. Afrah Al-Zouba, discussed
[00:17:21] during a phone call with the Egyptian Foreign Minister,
[00:17:24] Dr. Badr Abdel-Aty, the latest developments in Yemen
[00:17:27] and the region, and ways to enhance coordination to face current
[00:17:31] challenges. The two sides discussed
[00:17:34] navigation security in Bab Al-Mandab and the Red Sea, and the need
[00:17:38] to enhance joint coordination between the two sisterly countries to secure
[00:17:41] international navigation lanes. The Minister of
[00:17:45] Foreign Affairs touched upon the escalation of the Houthi terrorist militia in Taiz
[00:17:48] governorate, which threatens more than four million
[00:17:52] Yemenis, including thousands of displaced families whom the militias
[00:17:55] forced to leave their homes in the western
[00:17:58] coast district and the southern countryside. For his part,
[00:18:01] the Egyptian Foreign Minister affirmed his country's firm and supportive
[00:18:05] stance towards Yemen, its unity, and sovereignty, in a way that preserves its capabilities and meets
[00:18:09] the aspirations of the Yemeni
[00:18:10] people.
[00:18:13] The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Dr. Afrah Al-Zouba, also warned
[00:18:19] the British Ambassador to Yemen, Abdul Sharif,
[00:18:22] of the seriousness of the Houthi escalation on regional security and international navigation.
[00:18:26] She stressed the necessity of taking a firm
[00:18:29] and unified international stance to deter these
[00:18:33] aggressions and not allow the militias to use force
[00:18:36] as a means of blackmail or to impose a fait accompli.
[00:18:40] Minister Al-Zouba and the British Ambassador discussed aspects of British
[00:18:46] in dealing with waves of displacement and alleviating human
[00:18:49] suffering for thousands of displaced families. She praised British
[00:18:53] support for the government in various fields, expressing
[00:18:57] her aspiration to enhance cooperation and coordination to meet the needs
[00:19:00] of the displaced urgently. For
[00:19:02] her part, the British Ambassador affirmed her country's
[00:19:06] continued support for the government and her keenness to continue close
[00:19:09] work with it in various
[00:19:11] fields.
[00:19:15] Minister of Information, Maamar Mutahar Al-Eryani, confirmed that the targeting
[00:19:19] by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia of King
[00:19:23] Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, does not represent
[00:19:26] a military achievement, but a terrorist attack that reveals
[00:19:30] once again the nature of the Houthi militia. Al-Eryani stressed
[00:19:33] that civilian airports are not battlefields, and that targeting
[00:19:37] civilians does not grant perpetrators legitimacy or bring
[00:19:41] them victory. He pointed out that the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:19:44] Arabia is capable of protecting its security and sovereignty and confronting
[00:19:48] any aggression targeting its territory and the safety of its citizens
[00:19:51] and residents. He affirmed that
[00:19:54] targeting an international airport constitutes a direct threat
[00:19:57] to the international civil aviation system. He described the attack as
[00:20:01] a dangerous indicator, and Al-Eryani warned against merely
[00:20:05] issuing condemnation and denunciation statements, calling for serious
[00:20:09] and effective international measures to hold those responsible for these
[00:20:12] attacks accountable and prevent their recurrence, noting
[00:20:14] that overlooking the parties proven to be involved in
[00:20:18] arming these groups and enabling them to carry
[00:20:22] out their attacks will encourage the repetition of such
[00:20:25] crimes. He affirmed that the deep fraternal ties
[00:20:29] and strategic interests and common destiny
[00:20:32] that bind Yemen and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia make the security
[00:20:35] and stability of the two countries a shared responsibility
[00:20:39] that cannot be compromised. Al-Eryani reiterated
[00:20:44] the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, leadership, government,
[00:20:48] and people, and condemned this terrorist attack
[00:20:51] in the strongest terms, expressing his firm confidence
[00:20:54] in the Kingdom's ability to protect its security, sovereignty,
[00:20:57] and territorial integrity. Al-Eryani called on
[00:21:00] the international community, led by the UN Security Council and international
[00:21:04] organizations concerned with civil aviation, to fulfill
[00:21:07] their legal and moral responsibilities
[00:21:10] and take practical steps to hold the perpetrators
[00:21:13] of these attacks and the parties involved in
[00:21:16] supporting them accountable, and to work to prevent their recurrence.
[00:21:20] Al-Eryani stressed that the security of civilian airports and the safety
[00:21:23] of travelers is not a local matter, but a shared
[00:21:27] international responsibility, warning against any leniency
[00:21:30] with
[00:21:31] their targeting.
[00:21:35] The Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Head of the Council
[00:21:37] of Senior Scholars, Scientific Research, and Ifta, Sheikh
[00:21:41] Dr. Saleh Al-Fawzan, affirmed that the targeting by the Houthi
[00:21:45] terrorist militias of civilian facilities and the taking
[00:21:48] of innocent lives, and those heading to the Two Holy Mosques, is a grave
[00:21:52] crime with dire consequences. The Grand Mufti of the
[00:21:56] Kingdom said that the targeting by the Houthi terrorist militias of civilian
[00:21:59] facilities and the taking of innocent lives, including those heading
[00:22:03] to Al-Haram Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, is one of the greatest
[00:22:06] crimes for which Allah Almighty has promised severe punishment.
[00:22:09] He affirmed that throughout history, no one who has followed
[00:22:13] the path of this criminal gang has avoided destruction
[00:22:17] and dire consequences.
[00:22:21] The Ministry of Human Rights condemned the continued promotion
[00:22:24] by the Houthi terrorist militias of claims of opening roads
[00:22:28] and their continued attacks and control over supply routes and their closure to
[00:22:31] residents and supply
[00:22:35] these claims do not change the reality of the siege and do not exempt
[00:22:38] the militias from responsibility for its repercussions. The ministry
[00:22:42] warned of the serious repercussions of the Houthi militias' renewed
[00:22:45] siege on Taiz city following their widespread attacks
[00:22:48] in the surrounding areas and their control of the road
[00:22:52] that connects the city to supply outlets to the rest of the governorates.
[00:22:55] It stressed that closing the road doubles the effect of the
[00:22:58] siege that the people of Taiz have suffered from for 12 years.
[00:23:01] It affirmed that in light of the appeal of the Governor of Taiz
[00:23:05] issued on October 11, and the health
[00:23:07] warnings of the imminent depletion of medicines, medical supplies,
[00:23:11] and fuel, the response can no longer tolerate
[00:23:14] delay. The ministry called on the United Nations
[00:23:17] and international humanitarian and human rights organizations
[00:23:20] to an urgent response commensurate with the seriousness of the situation,
[00:23:24] which requires the international community to exert effective
[00:23:27] pressure to lift the siege and ensure safe and sustainable
[00:23:30] humanitarian access, emphasizing that the priority is
[00:23:33] to deliver life-saving supplies. It stressed

[00:24:17] of displaced people coming from the affected governorates due to the attacks

[00:24:28] the response to humanitarian needs, pointing

[00:24:41] Our country participated in the opening of the 77th session of the Executive
[00:24:45] Committee of the United Nations High Commissioner
[00:24:48] for Refugees program, held at the Palais des Nations
[00:24:52] in Geneva, with a delegation headed by the Deputy Minister
[00:24:55] of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Mustafa Noman.
[00:24:59] The Deputy Foreign Minister said in our country's speech that
[00:25:02] Yemen is a country that has hosted refugees for decades, even in
[00:25:06] the direst circumstances, and still fulfills its obligations despite its limited
[00:25:09] resources. However, facing the displacement of millions and a deep
[00:25:13] economic and humanitarian crisis exceeds the state's
[00:25:17] ability to bear its responsibilities alone. The Deputy
[00:25:20] Foreign Minister reviewed a package of commitments and policies presented
[00:25:24] by the government in the areas of developing the national legal framework
[00:25:27] for refugees, affirming the government's commitment to implementing
[00:25:30] them. He called on the Refugee Agency to play
[00:25:34] an effective role in aligning Yemen's commitments with the commitments
[00:25:37] of donors and partners, and mobilizing technical, financial,
[00:25:40] and development support to implement them before the humanitarian
[00:25:43] crisis worsens, affirming that Yemen does not ask the international
[00:25:47] community to replace its state, but rather
[00:25:50] seeks a genuine partnership that enables it
[00:25:53] to fulfill its responsibilities.
[00:26:13] The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Mustafa Noman, discussed in
[00:26:17] Geneva, Switzerland, with the United Nations High Commissioner
[00:26:21] for Refugees, Dr. Barham Salih,
[00:26:24] ways to enhance joint cooperation and the repercussions of the escalating
[00:26:28] humanitarian crisis in Yemen due to the military escalation of the Houthi
[00:26:31] terrorist militias. The Deputy Foreign Minister indicated
[00:26:35] during the meeting that the recent military escalation by the Houthi
[00:26:38] militias has doubled the suffering of civilians and exacerbated
[00:26:41] waves of displacement, explaining that the number of internally displaced
[00:26:45] people has exceeded five million displaced people after adding
[00:26:49] nearly one million displaced people during recent months, in addition to the continued
[00:26:52] siege imposed by the militias on Taiz city.
[00:26:56] He touched upon the heavy economic burdens borne by the state
[00:27:00] and the depletion of its limited resources due to the continuation
[00:27:03] of the war, as well as the militias' intransigence and rejection of peace
[00:27:06] efforts. He affirmed the government's commitment to providing
[00:27:10] the necessary facilities and accelerating response procedures for the work
[00:27:13] of humanitarian organizations. For his part, the United
[00:27:17] Nations High Commissioner for Refugees affirmed the commission's
[00:27:20] interest in the Yemeni file
[00:27:23] the endeavor to intensify the commission's field presence.
[00:27:27] He indicated the commission's intention to proceed with the procedures
[00:27:30] for nominating and appointing a new representative to head its office in Yemen.

[00:27:38] ambassador to the Federal Republic of Austria,
[00:27:41] Haitham Shuja' al-Din, informed the Austrian
[00:27:44] Prime Minister's advisor, Peter Launsky, about the latest developments
[00:27:47] of Operation Yemen Dawn, which was announced by His Excellency
