Yemeni Government Condemns Terrorist Attack on Military Leader
The Yemeni government has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack targeting the convoy of Brigadier General Hamdi Shukri, commander of the Second Giants Brigade. The attack resulted in the deaths of five armed forces heroes and injured three others while they were fulfilling their national duty to protect the country’s security and stability.
Statement from the Government
In an official statement, the government described the attack as a cowardly act aimed at disrupting efforts to establish security and unify military and security decisions. This incident occurs during a critical phase marked by significant progress, supported earnestly by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The statement reads: “The Yemeni government condemns in the strongest terms the treacherous terrorist act that targeted the convoy of Brigadier General Hamdi Shukri, resulting in the martyrdom of five armed forces heroes and injuries to three others while they were performing their national duty in defense of the homeland’s security and stability.”
Response to the Attack
The government emphasized that this terrorist explosion represents a desperate attempt to undermine serious efforts aimed at stabilizing security and unifying military and security decisions. The government mourns the fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured. It asserts that the response to this crime will not be limited to mere statements of condemnation; rather, it will involve decisive actions, including tracking down the perpetrators and dismantling the networks that provided planning, funding, and logistical support. The government vows to eradicate the sources of terrorism.
Commitment to National Security
The Yemeni government reiterated that any attack on the armed forces or military leaders will face stringent measures. The state will not allow liberated cities to become arenas for settling scores or bloody political messages. Such attempts are doomed to fail in the face of the state’s resilience and the vigilance of its institutions, along with the people’s support.
The government highly appreciates the significant sacrifices made by the armed forces and all military and security formations, particularly the Second Giants Brigade, in their national battle against terrorism and smuggling. It pledges full support to these forces and aims to enhance their capabilities to perform their duties effectively.
Appreciation for Saudi Support
The Yemeni government expresses its deep appreciation for the pivotal role played by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Their support strengthens the cohesion of Yemeni state institutions and bolsters efforts to unify security and military decisions. This support serves as a fundamental pillar in Yemen’s fight against terrorism and exemplifies an effective model of regional partnership in promoting security and stability in Yemen and the broader region.
Call for National Unity
The Yemeni government calls upon all national forces and political components to unite against chaos, saboteurs, and terrorism. It urges everyone to view this crime as a threat to all, regardless of political differences. The government stresses that political disagreements do not justify silence or hesitation when the state is under attack. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the higher national interest and safeguarding the progress made toward restoring the state and ending the Iranian-backed Houthi coup.
Encouragement for Public Awareness
The government urges all citizens to remain vigilant and reject any attempts to incite chaos or provoke unrest. It calls for cooperation with security agencies, recognizing that the state’s battle against terrorism is a collective struggle for society as a whole.
Reinforcement of Security Measures
The government emphasizes that all security and military agencies, along with law enforcement authorities, must fully assume their national responsibilities. Following directives from the Presidential Leadership Council, they must implement emergency measures rigorously and pursue terrorist cells and their funding and logistical networks. This approach aims to ensure a decisive response to these crimes and reinforce the state’s authority and the rule of law across all provinces.
