He said it has been established that the Houthis exploit vital resources to support their war effort and enhance their military capabilities, specifically their ballistic missile and UAV programmes, which underscores their brutal and terrorist methodology of exploiting vital resources to fuel their hostile activities.
“In light of the continued attacks, which pose a direct threat to the lives of civilians and the safety of civilian objects, the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition carried out a precision military operation this morning to neutralise vital resources used by the Houthis to execute their repeated, brutal attacks, as well as to threaten the security of the Kingdom, Yemen, and maritime shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea,” he said.
