Arab coalition launches precision strike to neutralize Houthi military resources

The official spokesman for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, Brig. Gen. Turki Al-Malki, announced that the coalition’s joint forces command carried out a precision military operation on Sunday morning to neutralize vital resources used by the Houthi terrorist militia to conduct repeated and brutal attacks, threatening the security of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and maritime navigation in the southern Red Sea.

Brig. Gen. Al-Malki explained that the operation was launched in response to the militia’s ongoing attacks, which pose a direct threat to civilian lives and the safety of civilian infrastructure. He noted that the Houthi terrorist militia continues its deliberate and systematic assaults on civilians and civilian sites in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and that it persistently exploits vital resources to support its war effort and enhance its military capabilities, particularly ballistic missiles and drones. This, he said, underscores the militia’s terrorist and brutal approach in using vital assets to further its hostile activities.

Al-Malki affirmed that the coalition’s joint forces command will continue to take and implement necessary operational measures to deter the Houthi terrorist militia and halt its use of vital resources to support its war effort. He stressed that the militia must cease all hostile and brutal operations against civilians and civilian sites, warning that otherwise, the Houthi terrorist militia will bear the consequences of its aggressive actions.

The operation comes just days after air defenses intercepted ballistic missiles and drones launched by the militia toward Riyadh, the Eastern Province, Taif, and the southern region, and after the destruction of two ballistic missile launch platforms in Sanaa. It also follows a precision operation by the coalition on October 13 targeting the militia’s fuel and military supply sources in Sanaa, Hodeidah, and Dhamar.
