Statement on the Houthi Militia Terrorist Attack on Daba Oil Port in Hadhramaut

The Houthi’s terrorist militias launched terrorist attack by drones and missiles against Dhabbah oil port in Hadhramout while an oil tanker was docking at the port.
This terrorist attack is the second of its kind by the Houthi militias as they launched two successive attacks against Dhabbah oil port on October 18 and 19 in a clear determination to target civilian and commercial facilities, which is an obvious violation of international law.
The goal of the attacks is targeting the Yemenis economical infrastructure and its capabilities.
The current and the previous attacks represent grave threats to regional and international energy supplies.

While the Government of the Republic of Yemen has been keen to provide all facilities for renewing the UN truce and maintain the status quo without any military escalations, the Houthi militias have been crossing red lines after threatening neighboring countries and all multinational oil companies working in the region that they will attack their facilities, infrastructure and transportation mean. Today they have transformed their threats to actions by committing this cowardly and heinous terrorist attack proofing the terrorist nature of this group which rejects all initiatives and offers for achieving peace and serving the Iranian rogue regime’s agendas in the region and prioritizing its interest against the interests of Yemeni People which represent grave threat to the international peace and security.

This terrorist attack which has been carried out by the Houthi Militias on October 21, 2022, clearly reflects the Houthi terrorist militia’s determination to start a phase of drastic crimes of war and severe humanitarian crisis in Yemen which will be more turbulent to the security of international maritime navigation. It reveals the reality of this terrorist militias’ attitude against the International Community endeavors to restore peace by all means and clearly explains the mistake and gravity of underestimating the terrorism nature of the Houthi militias.

The Government of the Republic of Yemen condemns this terrorist attack asserts that all options are open to deal with the terrorist attack of the Houthis on Dhabbah oil port at Hadramout & demands all countries to condemn this terrorist act and the rogue Iranian regime that stands behind it. If no strong and resolute action is taken to condemn this terrorist behavior, the peace process in Yemen, and the energy supplies in the world, will be affected.
