Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement
In a televised speech on October 13, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement has said that the US military is setting up a ground to invade Yemen.
He noted that the US military’s recent missile strikes against radar sites on Yemen’s Red Sea coast is a clear indication of it.
“The US is after laying the groundwork for making an invasive move against [Yemeni] Hudaydah Province,” he said, adding “The Yemeni nation will defend its territory, freedom and independence, seeing it as its right to use any legitimate means against violent invasions.”
The statement was made on the anniversary of the October 14, 1963 onset of an armed struggle, which forced the UK into withdrawal from the southern part of Yemen.
