The coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Maliki responded to journalists' questions, stressing the danger of using weapons, whether ballistic missiles or unmanned aerial vehicles, through the acquisition of these types by armed militia, indicating that the Houthi militia is the first terrorist group in history to get such missiles and fire on citizens inside Yemen as well as on its neighbors, pointing out that such capabilities have an impact if they hit its objectives. He pointed out that the leaders of the first row who were targeted and all those wanted on the list of forty and the first of whom was the dead Saleh al-Samad are in the sight of the coalition systems and are being monitored and for avoidance of collateral damage to civilians, sometimes these people are not targeted, indicating that all the figures on the list and those responsible for the killing of Yemeni people and the launching of ballistic missiles are not far from the coalition forces and are eliminated. He stressed that the Qatari officer who was caught by the coalition leadership while trying to get out of Yemen is a Yemeni person regardless of the nationality he holds and was arrested inside Yemen And thus it is treated by the Yemeni government, according to Yemeni law. He pointed out that the targeting of the Presidential House today was for Houthi leaders from the first grade and the second grade, and were monitored by confirmed intelligence through the intelligence and surveillance and reconnaissance systems, and if the first targeting of the dead al-Samad was hard, the strike today will be painful. He said that the Huthi militia deliberately recruits children for many reasons, including exploiting the material need of Yemeni families. Yemeni families must protect their children. Many reports said that some children, when they lose their lives on the battlefield, are transferred to Sana'a and some cities and certificates of death are issued and this is, of course, mentioned through the Yemeni National Committee to investigate human rights violations, pointing out that the Arab Alliance is doing a lot of efforts in protecting the children. The Child Protection Unit was established under the command of the joint forces and an agreement was signed with the United Nations in this regard, stressing that all Yemeni families should protect their children and not send them to death and destruction. Al-Maliki said tankers and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea had been secured by the coalition forces, stressing that any attempt by the Houthi militia to threaten the security of maritime and world trade would be addressed. The coalition is making great efforts in this regard not only for the ships of the coalition countries, but to all the ships of the world that pass through the Straits of Bab al-Mandab. The spokesman of the coalition forces said that there are many prisoners in the hands of the coalition forces, but according to international law and humanitarian, figures will not be disclosed, pointing out that war causes loss of life for civilians and the military, and military personnel joined the military life to give their lives to the redemption of their homeland. We honor our martyrs in a way that suits them and their families. --SPA 01:38 LOCAL TIME 22:38 GMT 0033 www.spa.gov.sa/w683838
