A Saudi-led coalition spokesperson said on July 25 that recent military action by the coalition targeted Houthi military objectives linked to threats against shipping in the Red Sea. Major General Turki al-Maliki, speaking as the coalition’s official spokesperson, said Yemen’s Hodeidah port was not hit in the operation. He added that all Yemeni ports, including Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Salif, remain open to maritime traffic and are operating normally, receiving commercial vessels carrying food, goods, fuel and construction materials. Al-Maliki also said flights to Yemeni airports are continuing as normal. At the same time, he accused the Houthis of continuing to block departures from Sana’a International Airport and of maintaining what he described as a siege on the Yemeni people. He said the coalition command would keep taking all necessary military measures to protect its vessels and defend Saudi Arabia’s interests and national assets. If the Houthis continue hostile actions, he said, the coalition will respond in a firm and direct manner, according to CCTV International News cited in the Odaily newsflash.
