Riyadh, June 22, 2021, SPA -- Yemeni Prime Minister Dr. Maeen Abdulmalik affirmed that the Yemeni government and its people, together with the national army, popular resistance and tribes, stand firm with all their capabilities against the Iran-backed Houthi militia to end its plot and restore the legitimate state. Dr. Maeen stressed that the Houthi escalation of terrorist crimes against the displaced and civilians in Yemeni governorates of Maareb and Al-Hodeida in particular as well as its continuing military attacks against civilians and civilian objects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not pass without the culprits being held accountable as the Yemeni government will also not accept that the Yemeni people remain mortgaged to such violations by the terrorist Houthi Militias. Dr. Maeen paid tribute to the continuing stand of the Alliance Forces to Support Legitimacy in Yemen by the side of the Yemeni people in defence of their identity and well-being, calling on the UN Security Council and the international community to take deterrent measures to coerce the Iran-backed Houthis stop threatening the security and stability of Yemen and the region. --SPA 01:31 LOCAL TIME 22:31 GMT 0002 www.spa.gov.sa/w1575055
