Saudi-led coalition says it struck 127 Houthi depots in Yemen

Summary

The Saudi-led coalition says it destroyed 127 Houthi mountain storage facilities and several launch platforms in Yemen in recent days, in response to attacks on Saudi civilian sites. The coalition says attacks on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport killed 17 people and injured 333, while attacks on Abha airport killed three and wounded 28. Houthi missiles also struck the Yemeni government’s headquarters in Aden, and Taiz remained encircled by the Houthis. Yemen’s deputy foreign minister told The National that the government would continue fighting and saw no prospect of a political process with the Houthis. This follows earlier reports that Saudi Arabia suspended flights after deadly Houthi airport strikes.
