RIYADH: The Iran-backed Houthi militia is trying to target Saudi Arabian cities with ballistic missiles, according to the Arab coalition fighting to support the legitimate government in Yemen. Speaking at a weekly press conference in Riyadh, spokesperson Col. Turki Al-Maliki said the Houthis continue to threaten residential areas with ballistic missiles and threaten maritime navigation in Bab Al-Mandab. Al-Maliki said the international community must shoulder its responsibilities against the threat of Houthi missiles. “We will not tolerate the launch of Houthi drones and their threat to civilians,” he added. He also said that the Iran-backed Houthi militia is committing war crimes by targeting civilians and passengers at Najran airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Al-Maliki also said that the Arab coalition is planning to accelerate the military pace to neutralize the threats of the Houthi militia in Yemen. He added that the coalition also has documented information on the supply of rockets by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) to the Houthi militia in Yemen.
