Fighter jets of the Saudi-led Coalition for the Support of Legitimacy in Yemen destroyed equipment and vehicles belonging to the Houthi coup militia off the Yemeni-Saudi border.

This came at a time when the fighters of the coalition continue to launch air raids, supporting the National Army, targeting the sites, gatherings and reinforcements of the coup in different parts of various Yemeni cities, where the elements of the coup are the target.

These cities and areas include Nahm, al-Jawf, Taiz, al-Baydah, western coast and Amran, where the coalition forces targeted Friday morning sites and gatherings of the insurgents in Jabal Suda Adan in Al Sarih Directorate, and similar locations in Huth, causing great casualties and materialistic losses.

According to an Al Arabiya correspondent, drone planes discovered three Houthi military vehicles carrying explosive mines and missiles.

The militia had attempted to transport the equipment towards the Saudi border, said the correspondent.

All three targets were destroyed and on-board militants were killed.

Meanwhile, the Arab coalition’s artillery destroyed 12 different targets including dens and barracks belonging to the militias within the Yemeni border.

As such, 15 militia members were killed, while ammunition, weapons and solar power sites used to generate their electricity were also destroyed.

On the other hand, a number of sites in the western front witnessed fierce fighting between the forces of the national army and Houthi militants, following the attempt from the coupers to infiltrate into the positions of the National Army.

Commander in the National Army Abdullah al-Sharabi told Asharq Al-Awsat that the forces of Brigade 22 Mika fought fierce battles against the Houthi militias east of the city.

He said that they thwarted schemes by the coup to achieve progress or recover lost sites while retaliating for the loss by shelling a number of residential neighborhoods from the positions stationed in the outskirts of the city.

A new Saudi aid convoy carrying essential food supplies, provided by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), has arrived in the central Gaza Strip as part of the campaign to support the Palestinian people.

The aid was received on Thursday by the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s implementing partner in the Gaza Strip, in preparation for distribution to the most vulnerable families.

This comes amid severe weather conditions that have caused flooding in the tents of displaced persons. In response, the center has set up several camps to shelter affected families and provide for their basic daily needs, aiming to alleviate the impact of the worsening humanitarian situation.

The initiative underscores the Kingdom’s steadfast commitment, through its humanitarian arm KSrelief, to supporting the Palestinian people in times of crisis and hardship.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud sent on Friday a cable of condolences to President of Libya's Presidential Council Dr. Mohamed Al-Menfi on the death of the Chief of the General Staff of the Libyan Army and his companions following a plane crash in Türkiye earlier this week.

King Salman extended his sincere condolences and sympathy to the president and the families of the deceased.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, sent A-Menfi a similar cable.

Experts have started analyzing the black boxes recovered from the jet crash in Türkiye that killed eight people, including western Libya’s military chief, the Turkish defense ministry said Thursday. The probe was being done in coordination with Libyan officials.

The private jet with Gen. Mohammed Ali Ahmed Al-Haddad, four other military officers and three crew members crashed on Tuesday after taking off from Ankara, killing everyone on board.

Libyan officials said the cause of the crash was a technical malfunction on the plane.
