The Minister of Defense (Lt Gen) Mohssen Addaeri also reported about the defensive preparedness of the Armed Forces to deter these sabotage attacks.
The Council stated that these terrorist operations against the fundamental civil facilities can never be tolerated because they do not only target the remaining live-saving economic veins for millions of the Yemenis but also they constitute a threat to the region stability, energy supplies, freedom of international trade and international peace and security.
The Presidential Council noted that the scraps of the drones used these terrorist attacks proved the involvement of the Iranian regime which supports those sabotage actions.
The Council stressed that it is time for the International Community to realize the danger of the continuation of such threats and overlooking Iran’s role in providing the Terrorist Houthi militias with the technology of the ballistic missiles and drones of which huge shipments were intercepted over the recent weeks.
The Presidential Council underlined the potential grave consequences of these terrorist operations including crisis of the salaries of the government’s employees, food security all around Yemen, collapse of all underway efforts to avert famine.
The Council called on the International Community to bear its responsibility toward this dangerous terrorist threat which the Houthi militias are bragging about even though it is a war-crime requires stern punishment by designating this militia an International Terrorist Organization.
The Presidential Leadership Council voiced deep appreciation for the unwavering support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the United States for the Presidential Leadership Council, Yemeni government and peoples.
