The Saudi Ambassador to USA added, "We will do whatever is necessary to protect the legitimate government in Yemen, prevent it from falling and to encounter the dangers of the militia. The situation in Yemen is dangerous and has never happened in history that a militia was able to control air forces or ballistic missiles and heavy weapons and this is a very dangerous situation and we will do everything we can to protect the Yemeni people and the legitimate government in Yemen," He said "This operation as a whole was developed to protect the legitimacy in Yemen and we are committed to the safety and security of Yemen and its people as Yemen is a neighboring country with which we have great historical relations at all levels, and what is happening in Yemen has a direct impact on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Yemen is facing many challenges and we have the desire and determination to support Yemen in the face of its challenges, whether those challenges related to the economic affair, terrorism, security or political stability and we are committed, over the years, to help Yemen to move towards a better future, therefore, this operation has been developed for this purpose." --SPA --SPA 08:35 LOCAL TIME 05:35 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
