Yemen Coast Guard Vows Continued Operations Despite Houthi Missile Attack in Aden

The Yemeni Coast Guard leadership has declared that a recent missile strike by Houthi militias on its vital facilities in Aden will not undermine the operational readiness of its forces or hinder their mandate to uphold maritime security and enforce the rule of law.

In an official statement, the Coast Guard emphasized that the targeting of civilian and security infrastructure serves only to strengthen the resolve of its personnel. The agency reiterated its commitment to protecting Yemen's coastlines and territorial waters, as well as its ongoing efforts to combat smuggling and disrupt illicit supply lines that benefit insurgent groups.

The leadership further announced that it would maintain its security and national responsibilities with unwavering commitment. Plans are currently in place to enhance coordination with the Yemeni Armed Forces and the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, a move intended to bolster national sovereignty and counter persistent threats against state institutions.

The statement concluded by affirming that such acts of aggression will not alter the agency's strategic objectives. Coast Guard personnel remain dedicated to performing their duties with professionalism and determination, ensuring the continued protection of Yemen’s territorial waters in strict accordance with national and international law.
