The operation aims to restore state institutions and retake Sanaa, Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi said.
Meanwhile, Houthi (Ansarallah) military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group carried out two operations against Saudi Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Khurais using ballistic missiles and drones, claiming direct hits and fires at the targeted sites. The attacks were in response to 50 Saudi air and missile strikes over the previous 12 hours on Sanaa, Al-Jawf, Taiz, Amran, Hajjah, and Saada, he added.
