SANAA 26 December 2017: A failed missile test by the Iran-backed Houthi militia has killed 10 family members in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. The Kuwaiti Cabinet has condemned the recently thwarted ballistic missile attack on Riyadh carried out by the Iran-backed Houthis, saying the incident shows the group is “not serious” about peace.
The official Yemeni News Agency quoted local sources as saying that a missile launched by the rebels from park Farah Land fell short of its target in the nearby Asr district, leaving 10 persons from one Yemeni family killed.
In the meantime, two Houthi elements were killed and one injured in an attack launched by the Yemeni National Army and Resistance in the village of Al Barakna near Taiz.
Military sources told the Agency that the Arab Coalition Forces have targeted rebels’ military reinforcements, including armoured vehicles, east of Taiz, leaving a number of Houthis either killed and wounded.
Following the Cabinet’s session held on Monday, under the leadership of H.H. Sheikh Jaber Al Mubarak Al Sabah, Prime Minister of Kuwait, the cabinet members affirmed that “this sinful assault by the Houthis, which targeted the security and stability of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, proves that this group is not serious in responding to international efforts which aim to put an end to the conflict in Yemen.”
The Cabinet expressed Kuwait’s support and backing of the measures taken by Saudi Arabia to maintain its security and stability under the wise leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz.
