The premier offered condolences to the relatives of the soldiers fallen in the battles that ended up in accomplishing that mission.

The liberation of Khaled camp will open the door for several victories, he said. The premier expressed gratitude to the United Arab Emirates for its support to Yemen in various fields including the granting of buses to public transportation companies and government institutions in Yemen.
