Major General Turki Maliki, the official spokesman for the Saudi-led multinational coalition forces, said today that the multinational coalition's military operations hit military targets of the Houthis, and these targets are related to the threat to Red Sea shipping. Major General Maliki said that the Yemeni port of Hodeidah was not attacked. All Yemeni ports, including Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and Salif, are open to sea navigation and operate normally to receive merchant ships carrying food, cargo, fuel and construction materials. Flights to Yemeni airports are also operating normally. The Houthis continue to refuse to allow flights to take off from Sana'a International Airport and insist on besieging the Yemeni people.
