RIYADH: The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen announced it had launched precision airstrikes against “legitimate military targets” in the capital, Sanaa, Saudi state TV reported on Saturday.
The Houthi militia’s attempts to target civilians requires a deterrent response to control its hostile behavior, the coalition said in a statement.
Earlier on Saturday, the coalition said it had carried out 25 operations targeting the Iran-backed Houthi militia in the Yemeni provinces of Marib and Hajjah in the past 24 hours.
It added that several militants had been killed and 17 vehicles were destroyed.
