RIYADH, (Pakistan Point News - 16th May, 2019) The Joint Forces Command of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen stated that it conducted today air operations against military bases and facilities of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias, reported the Saudi Press Agency, SPA.

They were targeted after the Coalition's military intelligence confirming the facilities were used for storing weapons and ammunition, adding that the air operations achieved the mission objectives.

In a statement, the Coalition said, Tuesday's attacks by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militias on vital facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were a violation of the international humanitarian law and customs, and amount to war crimes. "The Coalition forces are determined to chase all terrorist elements across Yemen, and target all locations, from which terrorist attacks are initiated," it added.

The Coalition affirmed it would continue its operations in accordance with international laws and customs until the objective of "neutralising" Houthi military targets is achieved.
