Coalition Confirms Destruction of Hostile Aerial Target Towards Jeddah

The Coalition for Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen announced on Sunday evening that it had thwarted several Houthi attacks, sharing a video of the interception and destruction of a hostile aerial target in the sky over Jeddah. Prior to that, the coalition reported "an aggressive attack targeting an Aramco petroleum product distribution station in Jeddah." The coalition stated that a limited fire broke out in one of the tanks but was contained without injuries or human losses.

The coalition emphasized that "the hostile Houthi attacks confirm the rejection of peace efforts and the alleviation of the suffering of the Yemeni people."

### We Will Exercise Restraint

In a statement on Sunday, the coalition said, "We will exercise restraint to ensure the success of the Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue under Gulf sponsorship, while we reserve the right to respond," referring to its support for the Gulf and international positions aimed at successfully conducting the Yemeni consultations that the Houthis are attempting to undermine. The coalition urged the Houthis not to repeat their mistakes in interpreting the coalition's efforts to end the crisis.

### Destruction of a Booby-Trapped Boat in Al-Hudaydah

Earlier, the coalition reported the destruction of a booby-trapped boat off Al-Hudaydah, preventing an imminent attack targeting the freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. The coalition stated: "We have destroyed 106 booby-trapped boats that posed a threat to the freedom of navigation in the southern Red Sea." It added, "Our efforts have contributed to protecting maritime navigation routes and global trade." The Coalition for Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen also announced on Sunday that Saudi air defense forces intercepted and destroyed 9 drones launched by the Houthi militia towards Jazan, Khamis Mushait, Taif, Yanbu, and Dhahran Al Janub in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
