Houthi Militias Attack Emergency Forces Camps Amid Security Successes

Houthi militias have escalated military actions by targeting several camps and units of the armed forces, including those belonging to emergency forces. The attacks resulted in casualties and partial damage, which has been addressed.

This offensive follows a series of security and military achievements by the armed forces, directed by the Minister of Defense. These operations aimed to secure areas, protect international routes, pursue banditry and smuggling gangs, and apprehend wanted individuals involved in acts of violence, assassinations, and organized crime.

The First Emergency Division, forces of the First Military Region, and the Shield of the Nation forces, along with other units from the armed forces and security agencies, participated in these missions. These efforts were part of a joint endeavor to enhance security and stability, ensure the safe movement of travelers, and pursue criminal cells and lawless elements.

The command of the First Emergency Division affirmed that these attacks will not deter the armed forces from continuing their national duties. They pledged to persist with security and military operations to pursue all those who threaten citizens' safety and the country's stability. The command emphasized that these aggressions will only strengthen the forces' resolve to perform their missions in confronting the militia, protecting the nation, restoring the state, and consolidating security and the rule of law.
