[The Saudi-led coalition said it will continue to provide support to the Yemeni government in response to Houthi armed attacks] On October 5, the Saudi-led multinational coalition command issued a statement stating that the coalition will continue to provide comprehensive combat support to the Yemeni government and its armed forces to "restore the country." Multinational coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki accused the Houthis of deliberately and systematically attacking civilians and civilian facilities in Riyadh and other Saudi cities. They also attempted to attack Mecca and Medina, and attempted to attack Saudi ships in the southern Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. He said that the coalition will continue to take necessary measures to curb the hostile actions of the Houthi armed forces and safeguard Saudi Arabia's security and sovereignty. Maliki stressed that Saudi Arabia will take relevant combat measures to respond to attacks by the Houthis and eliminate their threats to freedom of navigation in the southern Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait. He said that such threats not only endanger regional and international security, but also threaten international trade, the global economy and the interests of all countries. (CCTV News)
