The Saudi-led Arab coalition in Yemen gave the terrorist Houthi militia 3 hours to remove the weapons from the ports of Hodeidah, Salif and Sanaa airport.
The Arab coalition said in a statement today, Saturday: "The Houthis used sites with special protection to attack our oil facilities, and we targeted booby-trapped marches in the ports of Hodeidah and Saleef," and the military operation continues to achieve the principle of collective security.
Al-Arabiya channel quoted the coalition as confirming that an imminent attack on oil tankers had been thwarted, pointing out that 4 booby-trapped boats were targeted at Saleef port, which is under preparation, and 3 experts specialized in improvising and launching boats at Saleef port were killed.
The Arab coalition demanded that civilians stay away from weapons depots and hideouts of the Houthi militia in the Haddah neighborhood in Sanaa, noting that the Houthi militia is taking the Hadda neighborhood in Sanaa as a warehouse for weapons and civilians as human shields.
Arab and international condemnations continued of the terrorist attacks carried out by the Houthi militia, on Friday, on civilian buildings and energy facilities in several regions in Saudi Arabia.
Arab and international countries and institutions described this operation as "cowardly", stressing that it does not only target civilians, civilian areas and the security of the Kingdom, but also sources of global energy supplies, which requires rapid international action to curb these attacks and hold the perpetrators accountable.
The spokesman for the coalition forces to support legitimacy in Yemen, Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki, confirmed that the petroleum products distribution station of Aramco in the city of Jeddah was exposed to hostile action on Friday evening, indicating the initial indications of its targeting by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia.
The fire broke out in two tanks belonging to the oil facility, which were brought under control without causing any injuries or casualties.
And at the end of last February, the UN Security Council voted on a resolution classifying the Houthi militia as a terrorist group, and listing them under the arms embargo after the terrorist militias claimed several attacks by drones and missiles on civilian facilities in the UAE this year.
The United States of America is considering re-listing the Houthi militias on the list of terrorism after the administration of President Joe Biden removed them from the list in its early days in the White House.
