Saudi-led coalition says it destroyed Houthi missile facilities
The Saudi-led Arab Coalition says airstrikes destroyed Houthi missile facilities in Yemen.
Coalition spokesman Maliki said the targets included a ballistic missile production site, a chemical plant used to make missile fuel and a workshop for assembling missile electronics.
Yemen’s civil war began after the Houthis took control of Sanaa in 2014 and other areas.
The coalition has supported Yemen’s internationally recognised government since 2015.
The strikes aim to weaken the Houthis’ missile capabilities and military network; the Houthis have used missiles and drones against Saudi Arabia, which they blame for attacks on them.
Maliki said operations against Houthi capabilities would continue, but gave no further details about what comes next.
