Al-Houthi: West Coast Battle Is Enemy’s Quagmire
Local Editor
The Leader of the Yemeni Ansarullah revolutionary movement Sayyed Abdul Malik Al-Houthi warned Wednesday that the Red Sea coasts will turn into a graveyard for those who try to invade the country.
In a televised speech, Al-Houthi vowed to fight the Saudi-led aggression that is exploiting political problems in Yemen in order to occupy the war-torn country's south.
"We will face all of the incursions on the ground. Our determination will never be dented," he highlighted, pointing out that "the battle of the West Coast will be a quagmire to destroy and overwhelm the forces of invasion and aggression."
He further underscored that "the invaders will recognize that Tihama will be the largest swamp since the beginning of their aggression."
In parallel, Al-Houthi revealed that the Saudi troops are committing war crimes such as "raping women" and destroying international aid supplies.
Earlier in the day, Saudi-backed Yemeni forces, loyal to ex-president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, claimed that they have seized the airport in the port city of Al-Hudaydah from Ansarullah fighters.
Al-Hudaydah airport lies just eight kilometers from the city's port, through which three-quarters of Yemen's imports pass, providing a lifeline for millions of people.
Backed by Saudi-led airstrikes, the United Arab Emirates and allied militants loyal to the former Yemeni government launched the Al-Hudaydah assault on June 13 despite warnings that it would compound the impoverished nation's humanitarian crisis.
The UN says fierce clashes in the port city have driven 5,200 families from their homes.
Three-quarters of Yemen's imports pass through the port, providing a lifeline for some 22 million people in need of aid.
The United Nations has described Yemen as the world's gravest humanitarian crisis and warned any attack on Al-Hudaydah port could cripple aid shipments.
