LONDON: The Arab coalition destroyed a hostile Houthi air defense system on Yemen’s Marib front on Friday, Al-Ekhbariya reported.
The destruction of the Houthi system included all its components and its foreign operators were also killed, according to the Arab coalition.
“We support operations carried out by the Yemeni army and tribes in Marib to advance and protect civilians,” the coalition said.
Earlier, the US Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking said the Iran-backed militia is giving priority to a military campaign to take Marib over “suspending the war and moving relief to the Yemeni people.”
He urged the Houthis to respond to a “sound plan” for a nationwide ceasefire in Yemen that has been put before them.
