The Yemeni Defense Ministry announced that armed forces have targeted the runway of Sanaa International Airport. This action aims to prevent an Iranian aircraft from landing on Yemeni soil. The decision follows escalating threats from the Iran-backed Houthi militias, which continue to violate national sovereignty.
In an official statement, the Defense Ministry confirmed that Houthi militias have obstructed Yemeni national flights from landing at the capital’s airport. These actions clearly violate international laws, as the group insists on allowing Iranian flights to operate within Yemeni airspace.
Houthi militias persist in committing severe violations against the Yemeni people, jeopardizing the country’s security and stability. These actions form part of Iran’s strategy to support armed groups aiming to destabilize the region. The Defense Ministry condemned this escalation and emphasized the need to confront these violations.
The Yemeni armed forces reaffirm their commitment to safeguarding national sovereignty and restoring security and stability in the country. In this context, the ministry urged all relevant parties to collaborate in addressing the threats facing the state. It also highlighted the importance of international support in efforts to restore legitimacy.
The Houthi escalation necessitates a firm stance from the international community. Arab nations and global allies must support the legitimate Yemeni government in tackling these challenges. Achieving lasting peace in Yemen requires collective cooperation and an end to external interventions that threaten national sovereignty.
