The militia has allegedly been exploiting civilian facilities and resources to fuel its missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, international shipping routes, and Yemeni populations. Coalition spokesman, Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki, explained that the Joint Forces Command identified key sites, including Al-Sabaha Central Station in Sanaa, underground fuel reserves, storage tanks, and transportation infrastructure in Hodeidah, Sanaa, and Dhamar.

The Coalition stated that these resources were directly contributing to attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, as well as preparing for future strikes on civilian targets in Saudi Arabia and commercial shipping in international waters.
