LONDON: The Arab coalition destroyed a hostile Houthi air defense system on the Marib front on Sunday.
All components of the system were destroyed and its foreign operatives were killed, Al-Ekhbariya reported.
The coalition added that it continues to support the advance of Yemen’s army and tribes in Marib and to protect civilians.
On Saturday, Arab coalition airstrikes halted a tank and infantry offensive in Marib by the Iran-backed militia.
The coalition said it launched the air strikes to “thwart the Houthi militia’s attempt to advance toward Marib in Al-Kasrah,” northwest of Marib city.
It said it had destroyed Houthi military equipment, including tanks, and had inflicted “heavy losses.”
