RIYADH — The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced Friday that it had destroyed three missile launchers used by the Houthis to threaten regional security, warning that attacks on civilians and civilian facilities would be met with a firm response.Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki said the three launchers were destroyed in strikes carried out at separate locations on Thursday, October 8.In a statement posted on X, Al-Maliki said Houthi attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure would be met with decisive action.The coalition released video footage showing strikes on three truck-mounted missile launchers at different locations. The footage also documented a strike targeting a member of a missile launch crew at one of the sites.The announcement came after Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) confirmed that three Saudi citizens were killed and several citizens and residents injured in two attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Thursday.According to GACA, the first attack targeted airport facilities, while the second struck a Saudia aircraft. The authority said the attacks caused material damage, but airport operations subsequently resumed.
