Arab coalition launches precision strikes to neutralize Houthi threats

The official spokesperson for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki, announced that coalition forces have carried out a precision military operation to neutralize sources of threat. The action comes in response to repeated attacks by the Houthi militia, which has targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Yemen using ballistic missiles and drones.

Brig. Gen. Al-Maliki explained that the operation included the destruction and neutralization of legitimate military targets in areas under Houthi control. These included five tunnels used for storing ballistic missiles, four missile launch platforms, and a missile storage facility, with a focus on disrupting the militia’s supply routes between its controlled areas.

The operation also targeted Houthi fortifications, gatherings of fighters, and military equipment along frontlines inside Yemen.

Al-Maliki reaffirmed that the coalition’s joint forces will continue to take deterrent operational measures to protect civilians and civilian sites in the Kingdom from Houthi attacks, and to safeguard innocent civilians in Yemen from the militia’s violence. He emphasized that the operation was conducted in accordance with international humanitarian law and customary rules of engagement.
