The sources added that three simultaneous air raids destroyed an armored vehicle and three Houthi military crews in the eastern Jabal al-Balaq and the desert surrounding the Laza Mountains, which the National Army was able to liberate yesterday.
The sources indicated that a meeting of Houthi leaders was targeted in one of those raids, as a result of which the field commander of the Houthi Southern Front was killed.
The coalition had called on civilians not to gather or approach the targeted sites, according to tweets published by the Saudi Press Agency account “SPA” on “Twitter”.
The coalition said its operations are in accordance with international humanitarian law and its customary rules.
