The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said, "Our armed forces managed to thwart the declared and undeclared goals of aggression against Yemen."

Saree added commemoratively, in today’s press conference, "Today, as we approach the ninth year anniversary of the aggression against Yemen, we proclaim to the world that the Yemeni people have not and will not surrender."

He also pointed out that "the [yemeni] armed forces contended a criminal coalition that was effectively and operatively spearheaded by the United States of America, who directed the coalition of aggression's operation rooms," pointing out that "the Americans were in charge of running espionage activity, monitoring, surveillance, and logistical support for the aggression."

Brigadier General Saree also confirmed that the Americans directed each and every raid "by setting the target, training the pilots, supplying the planes with fuel, and guiding them into the Yemeni cities."

The stock of strategic missiles was doubled

The top Yemeni official confirmed that the Yemeni missile force now possesses expertise and capabilities, which makes it "more ready to ram more enemy bases and facilities," explaining that it possesses missile systems in abundance and in a wide-range variety, including "ballistic and winged."

He added that his forces are continuing to "double the strategic stockpile of missiles," as a deterrent force that has proven effective, explaining that "the unmanned air force granted the Yemenis a significant edge in their war against the aggressor’s coalition, and the competent employment of the missiles piqued the interest of foreign experts."
