The Saudi-led Arab coalition said on Monday it destroyed two sites in Yemen’s Saada and Amran provinces that were used by the Iran-backed Houthi militias to launch ballistic missiles against the Kingdom.

“We thwarted imminent hostile attacks against civilians in Saudi Arabia,” added the coalition.

On Sunday, the coalition announced that 218 terrorist Houthis were killed and 24 of their military vehicles destroyed in battles in the Joubah and Kassara fronts.
