Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - A military spokesman for the Saudi-led Operation “Decisive Storm” said on Sunday that there would be no safe haven for the Houthi militias in Yemen as the coalition’s air power targeted for a fourth day ballistic missiles that had been seized by the Shiite militant movement.

“There is a direct targeting of Houthis,” Saudi Brig. Gen. Ahmed Asiri told reporters in Riyadh, adding that coalition fighter jets were also targeting anti-air defenses on the ground.

“[The fighters jets] are available around the lock in all of Yemen to prevent a Houthi buildup,” he said.

Asiri said the Houthis, who have seized equipment from Yemen’s army, were “moving ballistic missiles between civilian homes,” adding that these types of missiles were primary targets for the coalition.

He reiterated that the coalition remained “vigilant” in order to safeguard civilian lives and infrastructure.

Asiri vowed that “there will be no safe place for the Houthis” and that the air campaign would continue to press against the Shiite militia in northern Yemen.

As on previous briefing, Asiri showed a series of slides from videos showing some the targets struck in Sunday’s air raids.

Asiri said Sunday’s raids included one on a Houthi military camp near the Saudi border. He stressed that the Saudi border faced no threats and was secure.

Five hundred civilians from Pakistan were also evacuated from Yemen, he added.
