Yemeni Coast Guard to secure islands and maritime outlets

Major General Khalid Ali Mohammed al-Qamali, head of the Yemeni Coast Guard, has confirmed the continued participation of coast guard forces in military and security efforts to regain control over islands, coastal areas, and maritime outlets.

Working in coordination with military formations including the Giants Forces, Shield of the Nation, and the National Resistance, the Coast Guard aims to secure Yemeni territorial waters and islands. These operations are conducted under the directives of the Presidential Leadership Council and with support from the Arab Coalition.

The mission includes supporting joint military operations to prevent infiltration, smuggling, and illegal supplies to Houthi militias. Al-Qamali emphasized the importance of protecting international navigation lines in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Red Sea to ensure regional stability and national sovereignty.
