The Saudi-led Coalition's Spokesperson Colonel Turki al-Maliki has said Houthi militia tried to target the Parliament and its members while convening in Sayoon by 13 drones.

In a press conference held here on Monday, al-Maliki made it clear that the Coalition's air forces have been able to shoot down the jets.

He welcomed outcomes of the Parliament's sessions and criminalizing Houthis as terrorist militia.

He pointed to "Together for Education in Yemen" project launched by King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Activities for supporting Yemen's educational sector.

He also touched upon Iran-backed Houthi militia's violations of international humanitarian law and bombing houses of citizens in Yemen- as the militia considers them opponents- and Houthi threats of shelling Safer Oil Tank, which include 1.1 million barrel of crude oil.
