  "account": "Saudi Arabia-led coalition in Yemen executed a military operation on Sunday aimed at targeting resources utilized by the Houthi militia to sustain its combat operations, following a series of attacks on civilians and potential disruptions to maritime traffic in the southern Red Sea. Major General Turki Al Maliki, spokesperson for the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, disclosed that the offensive was initiated early Sunday to impede the resources employed by the Houthis in perpetrating the aforementioned assaults. In a statement, Al Maliki denounced the Houthis for persistently mobilizing resources to bolster their military activities and augment their capacities, particularly in regard to ballistic missiles and drones. He asserted that the militia's utilization of these resources in their hostile endeavors exhibited a terrorist and brutal modus operandi. Al Maliki emphasized that the ongoing Houthi attacks posed an immediate danger to civilian lives and infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, along with the maritime shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea.
