RIYADH —The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen carried out a precision military operation Sunday morning to neutralize vital resources used by the Houthi militia to support its war effort, coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki announced.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Al-Malki said the operation followed continued Houthi attacks against civilians and civilian objects in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, alongside threats to maritime shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea.
According to the coalition spokesperson, the Houthi militia has continued to exploit vital resources to support its military activities and strengthen its capabilities, particularly its ballistic missile and drone programs.
He stated that the operation aimed to neutralize resources used by the militia to carry out repeated attacks and threaten the security of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and maritime navigation in the southern Red Sea.
Al-Malki emphasized that the coalition would continue implementing the necessary operational measures to deter Houthi attacks and prevent the militia from using vital resources to sustain its military operations.
He also called on the Houthi militia to cease all hostile operations against civilians and civilian objects, warning that it would bear the consequences of continued attacks.
