The raids led to the killing of over 160 terrorists and the destruction of 22 armored vehicles, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported, citing the coalition.

It comes in “response to the threat and military necessity to protect civilians from hostile attacks.”

Tensions are currently high with Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, who continually attempt to attack civilian targets in Saudi Arabia, and more recently in the UAE.
