Houthi fighters in Yemen are using civilian facilities at Sanaa airport and the Red Sea port of Hodeidah as bases to launch ballistic missiles, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy said yesterday.
The Iran-backed militia fired four missiles from the port and the airport yesterday targeting government-controlled areas in the northern province of Hajjah, where loyalist troops are advancing deeper into Haradh city.
The coalition said it would take “operational measures” to deter Houthi threats to Yemeni civilians.
“The militarisation of Hodeidah port and Sanaa airport threatens regional and international security,” it said.
Coalition airstrikes also hit military targets in Houthi-held Sanaa, and destroyed a ballistic missile launcher in the northern province of Al-Jawf.
