The Yemeni armed forces carried out a large-scale military drill in Yemen in the fourth military region. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that combat units from various formations of the armed forces participated in the drill which was dubbed "Reverence to the Late Commander".

The drill is one of the largest exercises conducted by the Yemeni armed forces; the drill was carried out in an arena of 100 square kilometers simulating an offensive campaign on American and Israeli sites.

The reporter pointed out that the objective of these drills is to "raise the state of readiness and combat steadfastness of the fighters of the armed forces to carry out offensive operations against enemy positions."

Back in April, the Minister of Defense in the Sanaa government, Major General Muhammad Al-Atifi, announced that "the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb are exclusively Yemeni regions," adding that the Yemeni forces are able to secure maritime navigation there.

During a visit to the stationed members of the Fifth Military Region in the axes of Al-Tuhayta, Al-Faza, Al-Hima Al-Sahili, and Al-Jarrahi on the West Coast, Al-Atefi said that "the situation is headed towards stabilization."

He added that the ultimate objective is to reach a comprehensive peace process: which is contingent upon the sincerity of the leaders of the aggression coalition, by keeping their end of the deal with what was agreed upon with the "revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council," noting that it would be best for the people of the region and suiting of their interests. 

Al-Atifi also warned the leaders of the aggression coalition against any maneuvers that would nullify the peace talks: noting "any violation or evasion of any agreement or understanding will result in losses for them and will put them in endless predicaments."
