A military source at the Ministry of Defense confirmed that the statements issued by the Saudi Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs are merely an attempt by the Saudi enemy to cover up the failure of its defense systems to detect and intercept Yemeni drones, which successfully achieved their targets.

The source explained to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that Yemen has exercised patience for many years regarding the violations of the Saudi enemy throughout the de-escalation phase. The source added that the Saudi enemy must respect Yemen's sovereignty and independence, and bear the consequences of any violations it commits.

"The Saudi enemy must end the siege on the Yemeni people by opening airports and ports, facilitating trade movement, releasing prisoners, respecting Yemen's sovereignty, and upholding its right to utilize its oil resources to pay salaries and provide basic services," the source stated.
