Emergency Forces Dismantle Two IEDs Targeting Mujalli and Al-Alimi's Convoy
The First Division of the Government Emergency Forces announced on Tuesday that its Highway Security forces and security patrols successfully dismantled two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) planted along the international highway. The devices were intended to target the convoy of Presidential Leadership Council members Othman Mujalli and Abdullah Al-Alimi, who arrived in Ma'rib Governorate earlier today amid escalating clashes on the Ma'rib and Al-Jawf fronts.
The division stated in a statement that the two devices were discovered and defused before they could detonate, noting that initial information indicates the cells that planted them are linked to the Houthi militia, as part of attempts to target road security and destabilize the region.
It added that this operation comes about a month after its forces dismantled six other IEDs, part of repeated attempts to target international and safe roads.
Following the discovery of the two devices, the forces imposed a security cordon around the site and intensified monitoring and tracking of desert routes, affirming their continued efforts to secure roads and counter any security threats.
The division's command reiterated its warning to citizens against using unofficial desert routes, stressing that it will deal firmly with anyone proven to be involved in acts that threaten security and stability.
