Yemen’s army announced Saturday that it launched a military operation at Houthi targets and military equipment, Anadolu reports.

Army spokesman Col. Majid al-Nuzaili said in a statement that the operation was carried out in response to Houthi attacks on military camps in the provinces of Marib and Hadhramaut.

Nuzaili said the operation targeting Houthi elements and military equipment was carried out along contact lines on multiple fronts and axes.

Accusing the Houthis of dragging Yemen into regional conflicts in line with foreign agendas, Nuzaili claimed the group has shattered Yemen’s economy and spread sectarianism.
