DUBAI - The Saudi-led coalition has launched a military operation against Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement after it recently stepped up cross-border missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, state television reported on Wednesday.
The coalition, which has been battling the movement for five years in Yemen, will hold a news conference on the operation against "legitimate" Houthi targets that aims to neutralize the group's military capabilities, Al-Ekhbariya channel and Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV said.
