RIYADH: Eight Houthi military vehicles were destroyed in strikes on Yemen’s north-western Hajjah governorate, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy said on Tuesday.

A number of Houthi fighters were also killed in 12 strikes on the governorate over the last 24 hours, the coalition added.

Meanwhile, the US Special Envoy for Yemen said on Monday that the militia has been the “primary obstacle to peace efforts” in the country.

Timothy A. Lenderking said the Houthis’ recent losses “should indicate to them and to all the parties that there’s no military solution.”
