The Combined Forces of the Arab Coalition have carried out air operations on Thursday on a number of legitimate military targets belonging to the Houthi militia.
"Military and intelligence information have confirmed that these targets include bases, military facilities and stores of weapons and ammunition belonging to the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militia," the coalition said in a statement published by the Saudi Press Agency.
