Riyadh, Jumada II 10, 1436, March 30, 2015, SPA -- Brig. Gen. Ahmed bin Hasan Asiri, consultant at the minister of defense's office, said today that the Coalition forces continue to devastate the Houthi militia weapons and ammunition stores and monitor their movements. In his fifth daily briefing on the campaign, which he held at Riyadh airbase, Asiri said that according to the projected plan and prescribed timetable, ballistic missiles were today targeted, citing an abortive attempt by Houthi militias yesterday to launch a ballistic missile from 60-65 kilometers on the outskirts of Sanaa but fell aground due to a launching error. Fighters were immediately directed to pinpoint the launching pad and it was destroyed, Asiri stated. In the afternoon, the warplanes targeted a site for a stored missile and devastated it, he gave another example, adding that work is underway to destroy the remaining ballistic missiles, particularly the mobile ones. He said a great intelligence effort is being exerted to determine the locations of those hidden machines by the Houthi militias inside homes and residential areas. --More 20:29 LOCAL TIME 17:29 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
