The Official Spokesperson of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Major General Turki Al-Malki has stressed that attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militias “will not go unpunished.”

"The brutal attacks by the terrorist Houthi militia on civilians and civilian objects” in Saudi Arabia, most recently targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha International Airport “will not go unpunished,” Al-Malki said.

“The Joint Forces of the Coalition launched a comprehensive operation, destroying a total of 82 legitimate military targets belonging to the terrorist Houthi militia across the governorates of Saada, Al-Hudaydah, Al-Jawf, and Marib,” he said.

Al-Malki added that “targets included ballistic missile sites, specifically mountain-based ballistic missile storages in Saada, command and control centers, communication systems, missile and weapons storages, and gathering sites for Terrorist Houthi groups."
