The Arab Coalition in Yemen carried out a number of
military operations in al-Dulaimi air base in Sanaa, which was being used by
Houthi militias to launch drone and ballistic missile attacks, coalition
spokesman Turki al-Maliki said on Friday.
The airbase is located near Sanaa International
Airport, but aviation at the airport and international aid efforts were not
affected, Al Arabiya channel quoted Maliki as saying.
The operation targeted launching and storage sites
of ballistic missiles, ground control stations for drones, as well as assembly
and support sites for the air base in Sanaa.

precise intelligence process to monitor the activities of the Houthi militias
with the aim of destroying and neutralizing such capabilities that threaten
regional and international security.
He noted that the operation was carried out in
accordance with international humanitarian laws and rules of engagement.
