The spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces, Col. Majed Al-Nuzaili, said that the Houthi terrorist militia targeted the interim capital, Aden, with ballistic missiles on Friday evening.

In a statement, he said the criminal attack, which targeted civilians and civilian property, constitutes a dangerous escalation that threatens the security and safety of citizens.

The spokesperson stated that the attack came as the militia continued to suffer losses on the battlefield, prompting it to direct its acts of terror against civilians, cities and vital infrastructure in blatant violation of international humanitarian law and customary international law.

Al-Nuzaili said that attacks on civilians and civilian facilities reveal the militia’s true nature and objectives, demonstrating that it targets Yemenis across the country, regardless of their geographical location. He added that such actions expose the falsehood of its claims and misleading slogans.

He reaffirmed that the Armed Forces would continue to carry out their national duties, protect citizens and state institutions, and press ahead with Operation “Dawn of Yemen”. He also stressed that the Armed Forces would take all necessary operational measures to address sources of threats firmly, in line with international humanitarian law and the rules of engagement.

Al-Nuzaili pointed out that these attacks would not achieve their objectives and that the Armed Forces would not hesitate to protect the country’s national assets. He stressed that any attack against the Yemeni people or their security and safety would be met with an appropriate response.
