00:00A formal statement is currently being officially issued by the Yemeni armed forces in the name of Allah the most
00:05gracious the most merciful the Almighty said so whoever has assaulted you then assault him in the same way that
00:12he has assaulted you and fear Allah and know that Allah is with the righteous Allah Almighty has spoken the
00:19truth in response to the brutal Saudi aggression targeting our country and our people.
00:24And in light of the significant and dangerous escalation that they are currently carrying out by launching a staggering total
00:29of more than 300 separate and intense airstrikes over the course of the past five days alone utilizing their fleet
00:34of Saudi F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets which have successfully targeted the vast majority of the various Yemeni governorates
00:40all of which were launched directly from the Kamismushait and Taif military bases the Yemeni armed forces by the grace
00:47of Allah Almighty have successfully carried out a highly qualitative and extensive military operation.
00:53This operation targeted various military facilities and critical infrastructure including warplane hangars, radar systems, runways, ammunition depots and other strategic
01:03targets at the King Khalid Air Base in Kamismushait by launching a massive wave of dozens of ballistic missiles and
01:10various types of combat drones.
01:12The strikes were extremely accurate and hit directly on target all thanks to Allah and his infinite power.
01:17The operation resulted in truly significant losses at the base and we offer all our thanks to Allah.
01:21The Yemeni armed forces will continue their qualitative military operations deep into Saudi territory as long as it continues its
01:31unjust aggression against our people.
01:34Any new aggression will be met with wider and more severe operations Allah willing.
01:39We continue to establish the equation of siege for siege and escalation for escalation.
01:45And we continue targeting Saudi military mobilization until the aggression stops and the siege on our dear country finally ends.
01:53Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best disposer of affairs, the best protector and the best helper.
02:00Long live Yemen, free, dear and independent.
02:03Victory for Yemen and all the free people of the nation.
02:06Sana'a, the third of Rabi al-Thani, 1,448 AH, corresponding to the 14th of September, 2026.
02:16This statement has been officially issued by the Yemeni armed forces.
02:20The Houthis have opened another dangerous front against Saudi Arabia as their forces push deeper across Yemen's western battlefield.
02:29Ballistic missiles were fired toward King Fahd Air Base in Taif, Saudi Arabia, adding to the growing pressure on Saudi
02:36military positions.
02:38The attack comes as Houthis forces intensify their operations across western Yemen.
02:44On the ground, Houthis fighters have taken control of the strategic Jardad Mountain in Taif's governorate.
02:50Jabal Jardad is a crucial high point, giving forces positioned there a commanding view over surrounding terrain and important routes.
02:59Control of the mountain strengthens Houthi positions around al-Waziyah, al-Bara and Ras el-Ara.
03:06It also gives them a stronger position between the Thai's highlands and Yemen's Red Sea coastline.
03:12And this is happening as the Houthis rapidly expand their presence along one of Yemen's most strategically important fronts.
03:20Their forces have captured Mocha, advanced toward Dubaab and Murad, and taken Mayun Island, also known as Parem Island, near
03:29the Bab el-Mandab Strait.
03:31That island sits close to one of the world's most important maritime choke points.
03:36Bab el-Mandab connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, making control of the surrounding territory strategically critical.
03:44The latest defensive has pushed Saudi-backed Yemeni forces out of several positions along the western coast.
03:52For Saudi Arabia, the developments create a growing security challenge directly along its southern frontier.
03:59The Houthis have also intensified missile and drone operations against targets across southern Saudi Arabia.
04:05Recent attacks have focused on military installations, airports and energy infrastructure in areas including Kamis Mushait, Abha, Jazan and Nagran.
04:17Saudi-led forces have responded with airstrikes across Yemen, including strikes in Thais, Hudida, Marib and Jauf.
04:25But the battlefield is moving quickly.
04:27The combination of mountain positions, coastal territory and control of Mayun Island gives the Houthis a potentially stronger military position
04:36around the Bab el-Mandab approaches.
04:39And that could have consequences far beyond Yemen.
04:42Any escalation around Bab el-Mandab threatens one of the major maritime routes connecting Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
04:50It also comes as tensions remain high around another critical choke point, the Strait of Hormuz.
04:57With pressure building at both ends of the Arabian Peninsula, fears are growing that regional conflict could increasingly disrupt global
05:04shipping and energy markets.
05:06For Saudi Arabia, the immediate challenge is stopping the Houthi advance and preventing these positions from becoming permanently entrenched.
05:15For the Houthis, the battlefield push represents a dramatic expansion toward Yemen's western coastline and the approaches to Bab el
05:24-Mandab.
05:24The next phase could determine whether these newly captured positions become a temporary battlefield victory or a lasting shift in
05:33control across western Yemen.
