The Saudi-led coalition has shared videos documenting some of its recent operations against the Houthis’ drones and positions.
Col. Turki al-Maliki, a spokesman for the coalition, presented the videos in a press conference held in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on July 2.
The first set of videos shows eight airstrikes carried out by Saudi-led coalition warplanes on positions of the Houthis on July 1 in the framework of the ongoing aerial operation. According to the spokesman, the airstrikes destroyed ballistic missiles and drones’ storage facilities, assembly workshops and communication stations.

The second part of videos shows Saudi-led coalition warplanes intercepting three drones launched by the Houthis on June 23. Back then, the coalition claimed that eight drones and three “ballistic missiles” were intercepted by its air-defense systems and warplanes.

During the press conference, Col. al-Maliki threatened the Houthis with “decisive measures” if they attempt to launch new attacks on civilian areas in Saudi Arabia.
“Targeting civilian facilities is a red line, and we will not allow it,” the spokesman said.
In the last few months, the Houthis resumed their drone and missile strikes on Saudi Arabia in what appears to be a response to the repeated attacks by the coalition. The Ymenei group also intensified its ground attacks.
The Saudi-led coalition is apparently, once again, attempting to deter the Houthis. This tactic has failed time after time since 2015.
i saw the one they didnt bother letting the traffic pass by before they fired…. pretty big payload on those stinking things unless it was the buildings themselves that added the extra kick
Just keep on brave Yemenis your righteous fight against Wahhabi roaches, cowards and vermin. Tide of War has already started to turn.
The soodies have to try so hard to give a victorious impression.
