Arab Coalition Launches "Operation to Liberate Yemen"

The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Tuesday the launch of an operation on all Yemeni fronts to liberate the country from the Iran-backed Houthi militias.

Speaking from the Yemeni province of Shabwa, coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki said: "We are carrying out military operations to liberate Yemen and we call on all Yemenis to rally around their political leadership."

The Yemeni government had declared on Tuesday that it had liberated Shabwa from the Houthis.

Malki also hailed the role of the United Arab Emirates in the coalition.

The spokesman hailed the liberation of Shabwa, crediting the success to the Yemenis uniting to achieve that goal.

There has been an escalation in the war in Yemen, especially at the fronts of Marib, Shabwa, and the Sanaa International Airport. In the same vein, new targets are emerging in Al Hudaydah as the Houthis are turning them to areas of military activity and weapons manufacturing.

In the meantime, the warplanes of the Arab Coalition made a splendid performance in the skies of Yemen through targeting Houthi ammunition depots, missiles and drone planes launch-pads, and hidden stores of the Houthi war machinery.

There has been a surge in the Houthi attacks on Saudi territories, as hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles were launched – and they all have been intercepted and destroyed in the air before reaching or causing any damage to their intended targets inside the Kingdom.
