Source close to Saudi army says coalition won’t ‘stand idly by’ on Houthi attacks in Yemen

A source close to the Saudi military says the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s government since 2015 will not “stand idly by” as the Houthi rebels escalate their attacks on Yemeni troops.

“The Coalition does not seek escalation, but we will not allow the current balance of power on the ground to be changed,” the source adds, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
