Deputy Interior Minister Maj. Gen. Ali Nasser Lakhshaa and the Deputy Chief of Security of Hodeidah, Sadeq Atiya, have discussed security plans that will be implemented after the liberation of the vital port province from the control of Houthi rebels.

Atiya briefed Lakhshaa on the preparedness of the Security Department of Hodeidah to assume their duty once the army makes the final push into the heart of the Red Sea port city and drives the rebels out.

Over the past months, the Yemeni army retaken large swaths of Hodeidah which the Iran-backed rebels raise huge funds and import weapons that help them perpetuate their insurgency.
