The Yemeni Military Media released Sunday a 20-minute video documenting a series of tactical exercises dubbed "To Make Your Faces Wretched" (Quranic verse) carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces.
The exercises simulated the Armed Forces' response to coordinated and non-standard hypothetical hostile attacks.
The maneuvers simulated four hypothetical assault waves by hostile forces on Yemeni territory, encompassing the coast, urban areas, deserts, and mountains, employing both defensive and offensive tactical operations.
According to the Yemeni Military Media, this exercise is part of the Battle of the Promised Conquest and the Sacred Jihad in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and in commemoration of the one-year anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The footage showcased the real-time monitoring and management of the exercises by the Advanced Command and Control Center, featuring military leaders, maps, surveillance equipment, communications devices, and a wide range of weaponry and missiles, including sniper weapons, torpedoes, unmanned boats, ambush setups, raids, and urban warfare simulations.
During the exercises, the Yemeni Armed Forces unveiled a new naval weapon called "Al-Qare’a"—an unmanned submarine capable of creating a massive explosion, with enhanced stealth capabilities to target the largest US warships.

A high-ranking Yemeni military source told Al Mayadeen that the drill comes within the framework of preparing for any upcoming confrontation with Washington and its proxies in Yemen.
In the face of ongoing US-British aggression on Yemen, these extensive naval and ground exercises mark a strategic and qualitative success for the Yemeni military, the source said.
The new weapons revealed by the Yemeni naval forces are not the last, the source affirmed, adding that Yemen is developing various weapons at an accelerated pace.
According to the source, the US and the UK must understand that they will not come out safe from any adventure [they pursue] in Yemen, and they must deduce lessons from their naval and aerial failures.
Elsewhere, the source indicated that the Resistance and Jihad movements in Gaza and Lebanon should rest assured that they are not alone, underlining that Yemen will never stop supporting them.
