Yahya Salah, the Yemeni vice president added that the Iranian subversive project aims at disturbing security and stability in Yemen and the region. He thanked Saudi Arabia for its support to the Yemeni army in confronting the Iranian project.

According to the official Yemeni news agency, the commander of the Fifth Military Region briefed the vice president on the progress of the military operations and the progress made by the army in the operation that he launched on Friday in Hajjah governorate.
