Coalition led by Saudi Arabia strikes missile depots in Yemen
Airstrikes by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia hit 2 caves used by the Yemeni Houthis to store missiles and 4 secret unmanned aerial vehicles in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a. The decision to attack these targets came after Saudi air defenses shot down a missile launched by the Houthis in the kingdom's southwest.
Coalition officials argue that airstrikes against missile bases are necessary to prevent further launches. For years, a coalition of Arab states has been unable to cope with the Yemeni Houthis, an Iran-backed militia.
The Houthis regularly launch attacks on Saudi Arabia's border facilities, as well as launch rockets towards Saudi cities. The capital of the country, Riyadh, also got it. Despite the constant angry statements from both the KSA and other Arab monarchies in the Persian Gulf, the real actions of the coalition are not so successful. On the contrary, they demonstrate the helplessness of the armed forces of the Arab monarchies, in which huge money is invested, in front of the Yemeni militias.
The Houthis captured Sana seven years ago, in 2014. Since then, they have been waging an unceasing war against forces loyal to the Yemeni government and the invading Saudi Arabian and other Arab states' forces that have invaded Yemen, forming the so-called "Arab coalition." Despite the obvious financial, numerical and organizational and technical superiority, the Arab coalition has not yet succeeded in defeating the Houthis, and such attacks on missile bases are only an attempt to somehow recoup the destruction and losses that the regular attacks of the Houthis inflict on the Saudi kingdom. At the same time, in Riyadh, they constantly talk about the guilt of Iran, which supports the Houthi armed formations in Yemen. The Saudi military claims that it is Iran that supplies its UAVs and missiles to Yemen, with which the Houthis then attack government facilities in the country, as well as the territory of Saudi Arabia.
