The King of Saudi Arabia promoted him to the rank of lieutenant colonel by promoting Major General Mutlaq bin Salem bin Mutlaq Al-Azimah to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Al-Azima took over as commander of the Joint Forces on September 2, 2020, following the arrest and interrogation of Prince Fahd bin Turki, the former commander of the Joint Forces, on suspicion of corruption.
The Saudi coalition claimed on Friday evening that it had intercepted and destroyed a bomb-laden drone fired by Yemeni forces into southern Saudi Arabia.
In a Twitter message, Yemeni Supreme Political Council member Mohammed Ali al-Houthi reacted to the appointment of King Salman of Saudi Arabia as the new commander of the joint forces of the Arab coalition invading Yemen.
He wrote in a Twitter message: Changing policies is beneficial, but changing commanders only means proving failure. God willing, they will not go anywhere against the warriors of the Yemeni nation.
