Arab Coalition launches military operation north of Hodeidah in Yemen
The Arab Coalition launched a military operation
north of Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah against what it described as “legitimate
military targets,” the coalition sources reported on Friday.
The coalition said the operation complies with
international law and asked civilians to stay away from the targeted sites.
The coalition reported the destruction of four
assembly sites for remote-controlled boats and naval mines, noting that the
destruction of hostile sites contributes to the freedom of maritime navigation.
The coalition had announced on Thursday evening the
interception and destruction of a booby-trapped Houthi boat from Hodeidah.
Colonel Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Arab
coalition, said the coalition forces foiled “an imminent terrorist act by the
Houthi militia south of the Red Sea.”
