The official spokesman of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, stated that the Houthi terrorist militia committed a cowardly and reckless act when it targeted commercial ships in the Red Sea, adding this to its list of crimes and maritime terrorism in one of the most important international waterways. Major General Al-Maliki explained that the Kingdom has stood and will continue to stand by the brotherly Yemeni people and their government in the most difficult circumstances and changes, and the Kingdom reaffirms its continued support for them in confronting the Houthi terrorist militias. He also clarified that the port of Hodeidah was not targeted, and that all Yemeni ports, including Hodeidah, Ras Issa, and Salif, are open to maritime navigation and are receiving commercial ships transporting foodstuffs, goods, fuel, and building materials, as well as flights to Yemeni airports. The Houthi militia continues to refuse to operate flights from Sana'a International Airport and insists on besieging the Yemeni people to export the problems and suffering it has caused, increasing the hardship of our Yemeni brothers in areas under its control. Major General Al-Maliki explained that the Coalition carried out a firm and strong response after prioritizing the preservation of the capabilities of the brotherly Yemeni people, and that the targeting focused on legitimate military targets of the Houthi terrorist militia related to the threat to ships in the Red Sea, and that the military response operation ended in accordance with the principle of proportionality and the planned operational objectives. The operation was conducted in accordance with the provisions of international humanitarian law and its customary rules, in line with the principle of proportionality. Major General Al-Maliki affirmed that the Coalition Joint Forces Command will continue to take all operational procedures and necessary measures to protect our ships and protect the interests and national capabilities of the Kingdom. If the Houthi militia continues its hostile actions, it will be responded to without leniency.
