The Arab coalition supporting the legitimate government in Yemen launched an attack on Monday against military targets of the Iranian-backed Houthi militias in the capital Sanaa.
The Arab Coalition spokesperson Col. Turki Al Maliki said that the coalition destroyed a number of legitimate military targets used by the Houthi terrorist militia to store ballistic missiles, drones and weapons.

He added that the coalition advised civilians to stay away from the targeted areas.
The Houthis are threatening global oil security by targeting the Shaybah oil field in Saudi Arabia, Al Maliki said during a press conference in Riyadh.
??"The attack does not only target the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but it is also targeting the global oil economy. Investigations into the recent attacks are still ongoing but we are taking all the necessary precautions to defend the vital infrastructures of the Kingdom," Al Maliki told reporters.
