The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen conducted a precision military operation Sunday to neutralise resources used by the Houthi militia, according to coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki. The operation targeted assets supporting the militia's ballistic missile and drone programmes.
Al-Malki said the strike followed continued Houthi attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, as well as threats to shipping in the southern Red Sea. The coalition said it would continue operations to prevent the militia from sustaining its military activities.
