Coalition: Precision Military Operation to Neutralize Vital Sources Feeding the Houthi Militia's War Effort

The official spokesperson for the coalition forces, the “Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen,” Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki, stated that the Joint Forces Command of the coalition has confirmed that the terrorist Houthi militia is using civilian objects and vital resources to fuel its war effort. These include the central Al-Sabahah power station in Sana’a, underground fuel storage depots, fuel tanks, and docks designated for the transfer and unloading of fuel in Al-Hudaydah, Sana’a, and Dhamar. The terrorist Houthi militia uses these sites to directly support its military terrorist operations and to deprive the Yemeni people of benefiting from resources that should legitimately be allocated to meet their needs. The militia has fully utilized these locations to bolster its war effort by supplying its arsenal of missiles and drones that threaten the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and endanger the safety of airports, ports, and commercial vessels in the Red Sea. This has contributed significantly to carrying out hostile attacks against civilians and civilian objects, as well as planning imminent attacks against civilian targets in the Kingdom and against commercial ships in international waterways. This operation focused on neutralizing the capabilities of the Houthi militia that it uses to threaten the Kingdom, Yemen, and the southern Red Sea and its waterways. The coalition forces reaffirm their strict adherence to international humanitarian law and have taken all feasible precautions to avoid causing incidental loss of life or damage to civilians during the planning and execution of this operation.
