The spokesman for “Operation Decisive Storm” said on Monday that Saudi Arabian forces have shot down a missile launched by the Houthi militias from Sanaa. Speaking at his daily news briefing in Riyadh, Major General Ahmed Al-Asiri said that the Yemeni government and army are cooperating fully with the forces of the Saudi-led coalition.

“A great deal of intelligence is being gathered to determine the locations of the missile launchers hidden by the militias inside homes and residential areas,” Al-Asiri told journalists. “The Houthis are trying to make us attack residential areas.”

Although he did not deny that coalition jets had attacked a refugee camp, he insisted that the alliance is making every effort to avoid such incidents.
