Saudi-Led Coalition Reaffirms Support for Yemen Government Against Houthis
Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki described Houthi attacks on Yemenis as "flagrant violations that have brought calamity and suffering to the Yemeni people for many years."
He accused the group of imposing internal blockades, forcibly removing residents, exploiting resources and redirecting them toward the "war effort."
Al-Maliki also accused the Houthis of recruiting children and harming Yemen’s “social fabric.”
He said the group’s attacks on Saudi Arabia, including alleged attempts to target Mecca and Medina, justified continued efforts to deter it.
He also referred to attacks targeting Riyadh, Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan, Najran, Taif and Yanbu.
Al-Maliki further cited alleged attempts to attack Saudi vessels operating in the southern Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, calling such actions a "threat to regional and international security, freedom of navigation and international trade."
He reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s "inherent right" to defend its sovereignty, safeguard its security and undertake operational measures aimed at deterring the Houthis and stopping what he described as their violations.
