The Legitimacy Support Coalition destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the terrorist Houthi militia towards Khamis Mushait, southern Saudi Arabia, and another towards the capital, Riyadh.

During the past hours, Saudi air defenses thwarted 12 Houthi marches targeting Riyadh, Medina, the Eastern Province, and the Southern Region.

The Legitimacy Support Coalition continues to destroy the missile launching pads and ballistic drones used by the Houthi militia in its attacks against Saudi Arabia, the latest of which was the destruction of the ballistic missile launch pad that was launched at Riyadh today by the terrorist Houthi militia, on October 20.

Saudi Arabia affirms, “The Houthi terrorist militia’s attacks with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones against civilian and economic facilities and airports in the Kingdom are considered full-fledged war crimes.”

In a continuation of the Houthi crimes that “exploit Yemen’s revenues in their war against the Kingdom,” an official source in the Saudi Ministry of Energy stated that a drone was intercepted by air defenses as it attempted to target one of the laboratories in the Shaybah field of Saudi Aramco in the Eastern Province, on Wednesday, which resulted in a fire breaking out in a vehicle belonging to one of the contractors working in the field, outside the walls of the plant, without affecting operational operations.

The source explained that the competent authorities began dealing with the incident and taking the necessary measures, while the attempted assault resulted in the death of residents of Filipino and Nepali nationalities, and two cases of injury to residents of Pakistani and Indian nationalities.

In parallel, Houthi crimes again affected King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, as the Houthi attack on the airport resulted in two deaths, a citizen and a resident, in addition to the injury of (8) others, whose injuries ranged from minor to severe, and they were immediately transferred to the hospital to receive the necessary health care.

The authority added: “The attack also resulted in material damage, which is being assessed, and developments will be announced later.”

In light of these developments, the Coalition to Support Legitimacy affirmed its country’s firm stance towards Yemen’s security and stability, and its keenness to preserve fraternal and historical ties with the Yemeni people, in a way that enhances security and stability, preserves the interests of the two peoples, and prevents the exploitation of the Yemeni tribes or their involvement in conflicts that do not serve the aspirations of the Yemenis for security, peace and development.

The official spokesman for the coalition forces, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, also refuted the allegations of the terrorist Houthi militia regarding the Kingdom’s threat to target tribal and civilian gatherings, describing what the militia is promoting as “false and baseless allegations, and we deny them completely.”

On the other hand, the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia confirmed that “the threat of the terrorist Houthi militia is no less than the danger of extremist groups, such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda, but rather exceeds it in terms of corruption on earth and aggression against Muslims, pointing to the targeting of civilians and civilian facilities in Yemen, and attempts to target Mecca and Medina.”

All of these developments are not isolated from Operations “Yemen Dawn,” as it is about to enter its twentieth day since the implementation of its operations, as the Yemeni armed forces carried out about 835 targeting operations against the positions and movements of the Houthi militia during the past twenty-four hours, as part of “Operation Yemen Dawn,” and said that it resulted in the neutralization of about 285 members and leaders, and the destruction or damage of 190 military vehicles and means.

On Thursday, the Yemeni Ministry of Defense warned citizens in areas under the control of the Houthi militia against participating in gatherings called for by the group, saying that they would be considered legitimate military targets.

The Ministry said, in a statement, that the Houthis take advantage of the gatherings organized under the names of tribal struggle, mass mobilization, and cultural courses, to mobilize children, youth, and those it described as deceived, and throw them into death pyres in the service of its combat activities and its destructive project.
