RIYADH-SABA

The Arab Coalition backing Yemen's government hit five sites the Iran-backed militia use for storing ballistic missiles in Sana'a early today.

The spokesman of the Saudi-led alliance Col. Turki al-Maliki said the strikes are a continuation of the previous operations the Coalition carried out to destroy the air defense and strike capabilities of the Sana'a-based militia.

He told reporters the Coalition is committed to preventing the Houthis and any other terrorist group from possessing such capabilities which, in their hands, means a direct threat to the UN flights, air navigation and the lives of civilians.

He said the strike complies with the international humanitarian law.
