Colonel Al-Maliki explained that all attempts by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia to launch drones are doomed to fail and the coalition takes all operational procedures and best practices of engagement rules to deal with these drones to protect civilians, noting that repeated terrorist attempts reflect the despair of the terrorist militia and confirm the criminality of Iran's proxies in the region and those who stand behind them, and their continuing adoption of false successes through their misleading media confirm the magnitude of the losses they suffer and the state of popular discontent towards them.
