Yemeni Ministry and Armed Forces Condemn Saudi Aggression, Target Saada and Hodeidah

On September 9, 2026, Yemeni officials and armed forces condemned Saudi Arabia's drone and airstrike attacks on Saada and Hodeidah governorates. The attacks targeted districts in northern and western Yemen, with the Yemeni Ministry accusing Saudi Arabia of advancing the Zionist agenda. The Yemeni Armed Forces warned that Saudi aggression would face consequences.

The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sanaa issued statements condemning Saudi Arabia's actions, claiming the attacks aim to divert attention from Yemen's central cause, the Palestinian issue. The ministry also accused the Saudi regime of promoting the Zionist agenda in Yemen and the broader region. A spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces reiterated that Saudi Arabia's attempts to evade responsibility for its aggression would not go unpunished. Saudi drones targeted the Kitaf and Al-Buqa' districts in Saada, while airstrikes hit As-Salif, At-Tuhayta, and Kamaran Island in Hodeidah. These attacks occurred in the context of ongoing regional tensions, with Yemeni officials framing the strikes as retaliation for Yemen's stance on the Palestinian cause. The Yemeni Ministry emphasized that its position on the Palestinian issue is both principled and humanitarian, and that Saudi Arabia's targeting of Yemen reflects its opposition to this stance.
