RIYADH, Oct 10 — The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis said today it destroyed more than 100 military targets in a “large-scale operation” against the Iran-backed group.

The conflict between the Houthis and Yemen’s internationally recognised government — which Saudi Arabia supports — reignited in July and has since spilled over into the neighbouring kingdom.

“We are carrying out a large-scale operation targeting the personnel and capabilities of the Houthi terrorist militia,” Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi coalition, wrote on X.

“We destroyed 136 military targets in areas controlled by the Houthi terrorist militia,” he said in a separate post.
