Saudi-led coalition vital to Yemen’s military progress, official says

Yemeni military attaché in Jordan Brig. Gen. Yahya Abu Hatim said the launch of military operations and the capabilities of Yemen’s army are the result of support from the Saudi-led coalition.

He told Al Ekhbariya that without this backing, there would be no strength on the ground, and nearly 70 to 75 percent of Yemen’s territory would not have been liberated. He added that the coalition’s assistance—military, economic, and in other key areas—has enabled the Yemeni government and its armed forces to manage military operations across various fronts.

He further noted that the coalition’s air support for military operations and assistance to Yemen’s air force have been crucial to the success of these campaigns. Strategic targets have been hit in provinces under Houthi control, significantly weakening the group’s Iranian-supplied capabilities, including drones and ballistic missiles.
