SPA has previously reported, as well, on coalition operations targeting terrorist Houthi missile infrastructure.
On October 6, the agency reported that coalition forces had destroyed a ballistic missile launch platform in Sanaa and a ballistic missile storage facility in a mountainous area of Saada that housed 20 ballistic missiles.
The coalition has stated that its operations aim to dismantle the militia’s military capabilities while supporting Yemeni armed forces.
On Sunday, the Spokesperson of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, Major General Turki Al-Malki, said the cowardly attack by the Houthis on Saturday, on a passenger terminal at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in deaths and injuries among civilian passengers and airport staff, constitutes a full-fledged war crime according to Customary International Humanitarian Law.
“It is a heinous act that contradicts all principles, values, and ethics. Therefore, the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition will respond decisively to this terrorist attack in accordance with the Customary International Humanitarian Law,” the Coalition spokesperson said.
Several nations and global organisations have strongly condemned the attack targeting Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, describing the strike on a civilian airport as a violation of international law and a threat to regional peace and security.
