Yemen commemorates eighth anniversary of the September 21 revolution

In early September, the Yemeni Armed Forces held The Promise of the Hereafter military parade in Al-Hudaydah, which saw the participation of various units of the Yemeni army, such as the coast guard, the navy, the air force, the air defense force, and several elite forces, sources told Al Mayadeen.

A few days after The Promise of the Hereafter military parade, the Ministry of Interior Affairs held a massive military parade in the capital Sanaa to commemorate the eighth anniversary of the country's September 21 revolution against the Saudi-backed regime.

Under the supervision of the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, units from various divisions of the Yemeni Army, most notably the Ground Force and the Air Defense, showcased their achievements.

Advanced weapons were put on display during the parade, including locally made armored vehicle “Bas 2”, missiles, armored vehicles, rifles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and air defense missile systems.

The military parade was attended by 20,000 security personnel from the Ministry of Interior's security units.
