With the launch of the "Yemen Dawn" operation to restore the state's sovereignty, the advisor to the President of the Yemeni Leadership Council, Abdulmalik Al-Mikhlafi, stated that "the Houthis have fallen into the trap they created themselves."

Al-Mikhlafi said today, Monday, that the military operation launched by the government forces aims to reach the capital, Sana'a, and end the Houthi group's project, considering that the current confrontation is different from previous ones.

He also confirmed in a post on his account on the "X" platform that the Houthis "realize that this time is not like previous ones; the goal of the confrontation is no longer to maintain the status quo or achieve progress here and there, but to reach Sana'a and end their project, so that peace prevails in Yemen and the region."

Additionally, he emphasized that the Houthis "made a mistake when they ignited the battles in Al-Mokha, the western coast, Bab al-Mandab, and Al-Hajariah, and were deceived by some progress," considering that they "fell into the trap they created with their own hands." He pointed out that "Yemen Dawn" is looming on the horizon, explaining that the Yemeni leadership and its armed forces chose to respond to the battles that he said the Houthis are waging "in the service of Iran."

The Yemenis in the areas where the liberation battles begin were called upon to support the armed forces, and to unify the supportive voices in the face of what he described as the "Houthi psychological war."

Mekhlafi's statements came in conjunction with the ongoing field developments on several fronts following the announcement of the start of military operations, as the joint Yemeni forces took control of Bab al-Mandab, Dhubab, and advanced towards Al-Mokha, marking an important turning point both militarily and strategically.

Meanwhile, the Coalition to Support Legitimacy confirmed the destruction of 324 high-value targets with the launch of Operation "Fajr al-Yemen," and the provision of air protection for the Bab al-Mandab Strait. It was also clarified that 100 fighter jets participated in the operation early today.
