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.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned on Sunday the continued crimes committed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, most recently the shelling of a school sheltering displaced persons.

Seven Palestinians were killed and dozens of civilians were injured in the attack, which the OIC slammed as a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law”.

The OIC renewed its call on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, “to assume its responsibilities by putting an end to all Israeli crimes and violations, securing a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire, ensuring sufficient and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance, and guaranteeing the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.”

It further emphasized “the need to activate international criminal justice mechanisms to pursue and hold accountable all Israeli officials involved in committing these grave crimes and to ensure that they do not evade punishment.”
