The coalition blamed the Iranian-backed Houthi militia for their attempts to foil the Yemeni consultations, saying that the coalition would support the Gulf and international position for the success of the talks, scheduled to begin on March 29 under the auspices of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
The coalition also warned Houthis that they should not repeat their mistakes while interpreting the Coalition’s efforts to end the Yemeni crisis.
The coalition confirmed earlier the occurrence of an hostile attack targeting Saudi Aramco’s petroleum distribution plant in Jeddah. There were no human losses or injuries in a limited fire that broke out at one of the tanks of the plant, the coalition said while adding that the fire was put out successfully. (SG)
