The Saudi-led coalition said Monday it destroyed tunnels and missile launchers used by Yemen's Houthi rebels.
The Saudi-led coalition said Monday it has degraded the Houthi rebels' ability to strike targets in Saudi Arabia by destroying five tunnels used to store ballistic missiles, four ballistic missile launchers and another missile storage facility in Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen.
Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki said the operation also aimed to cut off Houthi supply lines between areas under their control and targeted rebel fortifications and military equipment along the front lines inside Yemen. Al-Malki said the coalition would continue to use 'deterrent operational measures' to protect against the Houthis' 'brutal attacks' inside the kingdom and in Yemen.
The Houthis claimed Monday that they fired ballistic missiles at military gatherings and weapons depots belonging to Saudi-backed government forces in Aden and Lahj provinces, with their military spokesperson Yahya Saree saying the rebels inflicted losses. The Associated Press could not independently verify the Houthi claims. The Houthis continue to target government forces and their allies inside Yemen.
