Al-Maliki: Coalition to show proof of botched Houthi attack

July 09, 2019

RIYADH — The Coalition Joint Command will not hesitate to repulse any terrorist attempts by Iran-backed Houthi militias and their targeting of maritime navigation and global trade, Saudi Press Agency quoted the Spokesman of the Coalition Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen Col. Turki Al-Maliki as stressing on Tuesday.

Al-Maliki added that due to the Houthi militias’ continued policy of fabricating lies via their misleading media and their attempts to absolve themselves of responsibility for their hostile and terrorist acts, the Coalition will exhibit cogent proofs of the Houthi militias’ violation of humanitarian international law in connection with the Houthi militias’ botched attempt to target a commercial ship on Monday morning by a remote controlled rigged boat [Houthi Remote Control Explosive Boat] (Blow Fish Type) in the southern part of the Red Sea.

This is due to the Coalition’s keenness to adhere to credibility and transparency and raise the level of communication with the international community to the highest level.

Col. Al-Maliki had earlier said that the coalition forces on Monday evening managed to intercept and down a drone launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militia toward the Kingdom, targeting civilian installations.

Al-Maliki said the Houthi terrorists continue to launch drones to carry out hostile and terrorist acts by targeting civilians and civilian installations, and that none of their targets have been achieved and these drones have been shot down and destroyed. — SPA
