@khaleejtimesofficial: Early on Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen said its naval forces carried out an operation in Yemen's Al Hodeidah Governorate. Spokesperson Major General Turki Al Maliki said the operation included the "destruction of legitimate military targets" belonging to the Houthis, adding that it is within the Saudi coalition's objectives to protect navigation in the Bab Al Mandab strait. The operation included the destruction of weapons depots, warehouses for booby-trapped boats, and sea mines; a plot for imminent attacks targeting waterways in the southern Red Sea was thwarted, he added. #Khaleejtimes #SaudiArabia #Yemen #Houthi
