The "Coalition" announces the launch of a "broad" operation against the Houthis... and clarifies its "objectives"

Quick Look

The coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen, led by Saudi Arabia, announced the implementation of a large-scale operation targeting the elements and capabilities of the Iran-backed Houthis, hours after the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation announced two attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, resulting in the death of 3 citizens and injuries, while the Houthis claimed to launch attacks with winged and ballistic missiles on the airports of Riyadh and Najran and the King Khalid Air Base.

Why It Matters

The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing for years between the internationally recognized government and the Houthis, who control large parts of the country. The coalition and the Yemeni government accuse Iran of supporting the Houthis militarily and financially.

Font size

The Saudi-led “Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen” coalition announced on Friday the implementation of a “large operation” targeting elements and capabilities of the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.

Coalition spokesman Turki Al-Maliki said on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter): “We are working to dismantle and destroy the ballistic missile network of the terrorist Houthi militia, and we have destroyed 136 military targets in areas under its control,” and added: “We provide 24-hour air support to Yemeni armed forces units.”

The statements came hours after the General Authority of Civil Aviation in Saudi Arabia announced, on Friday, that two attacks had occurred on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Thursday, the first targeting its facilities and the second a Saudi Airlines plane, resulting in the death of 3 citizens and a number of injuries.

On Thursday, the Houthis announced a new wave of attacks targeting two civilian airports - Riyadh Airport and Najran Airport, near the southern border between Saudi Arabia and Yemen - in addition to the King Khalid Air Base of the Saudi Air Force.

The group claimed that the attacks were carried out using cruise and ballistic missiles, and that they caused damage and disrupted air traffic.
