Major General Mohammed Al-Qadri, a commander of the Coastal Defence Brigade, has said that moves of the US, Israeli enemy and their allies in the Red Sea are “aiming to threaten the safety of maritime navigation in the Bab al-Mandab Strait.”
He affirmed that the actions of the hostile forces in the Red Sea are being monitored accurately, and pose a danger to the regional waters and the global trade movement.
Major General Al-Qadri affirmed that “protecting the Red Sea, the Yemeni islands, and the Bab al-Mandab Strait is a Yemeni responsibility,” and that the Yemeni Armed Forces and naval forces have the full ability to protect it.”
He pointed out that “the region does not need invaders to protect it as they claim, because the Saudi-led coalition countries and their allies are the real enemy of safety and commercial and civil navigation.”
