🇸🇦🇾🇪❌🇾🇪 — The Saudi-led coalition says it is providing full operational support to Yemen’s PLC government and armed forces in their newly announced counteroffensive across all fronts, aimed at restoring state institutions and ending Houthi (Ansarallah) control.

Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki accused the Houthis of forcibly displacing and starving civilians, diverting resources to the war effort and recruiting children.

He said continued Houthi attacks on Saudi cities and threats to Saudi vessels in the southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab require further measures to deter the group.

Al-Maliki reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s right to defend its sovereignty and security and pledged continued support for Yemen and efforts to end Houthi threats to international shipping and trade.
