Marine FAST Team Working With Yemenis On Embassy Safety
MS. NULAND: Yeah. With regard to Sana’a, first I want to say that we welcome President Hadi’s swift and clear condemnation of yesterday’s violence. The Yemeni Government has deployed additional security forces around the Embassy and is working hard with us to ensure continued safety and security. All of our personnel are accounted for.
As you know, there were no breaches of the compound today. We did have – there were protests outside the Embassy today. Those protests have now been dispersed. Yesterday we did have a breach of the compound wall. We had damage to buildings, to the cars, to the windows. By buildings I mean the exterior of the buildings. There was never a breach of building security in Sana’a either.
And as you have heard from the Pentagon, we have a Marine FAST team working with the Yemenis there now. Obviously, all Embassy personnel are safe and accounted for there as well. PRESS BRIEFING
