Sanaa confirms its keenness on security of international maritime navigation

SANAA, Jan. 04 (YPA) – The Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces in Sanaa, Major General Ali Al-Mushki, confirmed that Yemen is the keenest on the security of international navigation and trade lines.

Major General Al-Mushki pointed out, in a press statement this evening, that the capture of the UAE military cargo ship is an advanced operational response to hostile activities.

“All activities of the aggression forces are under monitoring and we have the right to take appropriate measures in this regard,” he said.

Al-Mushki stressed that any hostile movement or activity is a legitimate target for the armed forces and the popular committees (Sanaa forces) and that the Saudi-led coalition forces must bear the consequences of their permanent violations of international laws regulating various maritime activities.

“We will defend Yemen’s naval theater with all our strength and we can implement what we say,” he added.
