The city of Marib today held a funeral for Major General Saeed bin Maieli, commander of the First Special Tasks Brigade, and Colonel Ahmed Arfaj Al-Shaddadi, who were killed in action while fulfilling their national duty in defense of the revolution, the republic, and national gains as part of the 'Dawn of Yemen' operation.

According to an official statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces Media Center on X, the official funeral ceremony for the two officers took place amid a solemn funeral procession at the military hospital square, where their bodies, draped in the national flag, were carried by an honor guard.
