The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen announced that it carried out 33 targeting operations against the Houthis in Al-Jawf and Marib within 24 hours, destroying 25 military vehicles and air defenses, and killing 280 Houthis, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
And earlier today, Wednesday, the coalition announced the interception and destruction of a booby-trapped drone launched by the Houthis towards the Kingdom.
In a statement issued by it, the coalition said that a booby-trapped drone had been intercepted and destroyed in Yemeni airspace, launched by the Houthis towards Saudi Arabia.
The statement threatened the Houthis, saying, "In response to the threat, the threat sources will be bombed in the coming hours," without clarifying the nature of the targets intended.
Money Out Warning
On the other hand, the United Nations World Food Program announced that it will reduce food rations in Yemen for 8 million people, starting next January, due to lack of funding.
WFP warned that the funds needed to continue providing food aid to the 13 million people it supports in Yemen are running out.
From next January, families will receive barely half of the daily minimum ration, and WFP support for malnutrition and school feeding activities for children may also be reduced.
The WFP's decision comes at the worst possible time for families in Yemen who depend on WFP food aid to survive.
Over the past three months, the Insufficient Food Consumption Index, one of the measures the World Food Program uses to track hunger rates, has risen, affecting half of the country's total households.
More than half of the population of Yemen - about 16 million (16.2 million) - face hunger, and half of the children under the age of five - more than two million children in Yemen (2.3 million) - are at risk of malnutrition.
Faced with this situation, the World Food Program needs $813 million to continue helping the neediest groups in Yemen until next May.
Next year, the World Food Program needs about $2 billion (1.97 billion) to be able to continue providing vital food assistance to families on the brink of starvation.
