Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, revealed three operational equations he said Sanaa forces have imposed on Saudi Arabia amid ongoing military escalation between the two sides.
In a statement published on the military spokesman’s official account, Saree detailed that the first equation centers on a policy of “blockade for blockade,” claiming that the Yemeni Armed Forces restricted the movement of Saudi oil tankers and prevented a number of them from continuing their voyages.
“Blockade for Blockade”.. Targeting Oil Vessels
Saree stated that under this equation, Sanaa forces targeted eight Saudi oil tankers: five in the Red Sea and three in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
He added that armed forces turned back 48 Saudi oil vessels and prevented them from passing through, including 34 ships blocked in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, and 14 in the Red Sea.
Targeting Saudi Troop Buildups
The military spokesman noted that the second equation involves targeting Saudi-affiliated troop buildups wherever they are located.
Under this parameter, he said the armed forces conducted 14 military operations targeting buildups in the areas of Al-Ruwaik, Al-Abar, Al-Wadeeah, Marib, and Al-Mukha, in addition to targeting ships and boats allegedly transporting military equipment and reinforcements.
Safeguarding Yemeni Sovereignty
According to Saree, the third equation focuses on protecting Yemeni sovereignty and countering any incursions into Yemeni land or airspace.
In response to what he described as Saudi aggression on Sanaa Airport and the Port of Hodeidah, he explained that the armed forces carried out nine military operations against targets in Yanbu, Najran, Jizan, and Abha, as well as oil supply infrastructure in the Eastern Province.
He added that these operations were conducted to establish the sovereignty-protection equation, particularly in light of what he cited as airspace violations over the Saada and Hajjah governorates.
Sanaa Outlines Conditions to Halt Escalation
Yahya Saree emphasized that, from Sanaa’s perspective, Saudi Arabia “has no option” but to lift the blockade and implement prior agreements. He stated this includes ending the war, paying public sector salaries, withdrawing foreign forces, and leaving Yemen’s natural resources to the Yemeni people.
The military spokesman’s statements come amid sustained military tension, mutual escalation, and persistent threats to maritime navigation and energy supplies, keeping sea lanes and oil facilities at the center of the confrontation.
