The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said it destroyed a depot housing 20 ballistic missiles in the northwestern part of the country, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The coalition also said its forces destroyed a ballistic missile launch site in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, which is controlled by the Houthi movement. The coalition has for years targeted sites it says are used by the Houthis to store and launch missiles and drones as part of the broader conflict in Yemen.
The report did not specify the exact location of the destroyed depot beyond describing it as being in northwestern Yemen, nor did it detail casualties or the timing of the strikes. The coalition's claims regarding strikes on Houthi military infrastructure are frequently disputed or go unconfirmed by independent sources, and the Houthi movement has not been reported as responding to this specific claim.
Yemen has been affected by a prolonged conflict between the Saudi-led coalition, which backs Yemen's internationally recognized government, and the Houthi movement, which controls large parts of the country including Sanaa. Periods of relative calm have alternated with renewed strikes and skirmishes in recent years.
Anadolu Agency's report did not include independent verification of the coalition's claims regarding the destroyed depot and launch site.
