Saudi-led Arab coalition to keep state of calmness in Yemen

The Saudi-led Arab coalition promised on Monday to keep the state of calmness in dealing with Houthis, after intercepting a ballistic missile from Yemen, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The coalition command highlighted that the missile was intercepted and destroyed by the Saudi Air Forces without causing damages. The forces also identified the location that it was launched.

The command considered the timing of the launch as serious escalation by Houthi militias, highlighting that the coalition and the international community are striving to continue with the state of calmness for the success of Kuwait negotiations that is going on by all Yemeni political powers.

The statement highlighted that the coalition won't take any action, but certain responses will be taken if the incident is repeated.

The command called upon the international community for serious stance against Houthis and their attempts to keep chaos in Yemen by hindering efforts to bring back security and stability.

The coalition has been engaged in a war in Yemen since March 2015 in support of the Yemeni elected government.
