The announcements reflect ongoing military operations against Houthi forces in Yemen.
In a separate development, Yemeni government forces reported carrying out 753 strikes against Houthi targets over 24 hours under their “Dawn of Yemen” campaign.
Col Majed Al-Nuzaili, the Yemeni government forces’ spokesman, said on Sunday that the strikes had targeted field command and control centres, fortifications, firing positions, troop concentrations and reinforcements.
He claimed that 218 Houthi fighters and field commanders had been neutralised, while 78 vehicles, weapons and pieces of military equipment had been destroyed or disabled.
According to Al-Nuzaili, the operations disrupted Houthi movements, supply capabilities, and force deployments, supporting government forces in raids, assaults, and tactical manoeuvres.
He also said the military was taking precautions to restrict attacks to legitimate military targets and protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
The announcements describe separate operations by the coalition and Yemeni government forces against Houthi military capabilities.
Al-Malki’s statement specifically identified one of the launchers destroyed in Sanaa as having been used to fire a ballistic missile towards Riyadh.
Al-Malki said coalition operations targeting the Houthi militia’s ballistic missile network were continuing.
