France condemns Al Houthi air attacks on Saudi

France has strongly condemned recent attempted air strikes by Yemen’s Al Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia.

The Iran-backed Al Houthis launched a series of armed drones toward the Kingdom’s southern region on Sunday and Monday with eight being intercepted and destroyed by the Arab coalition.

On Monday, the Houthis launched a three-pronged offensive on the oil-rich, government-controlled province, triggering clashes with army troops and allied tribesmen backed by air cover from Arab coalition warplanes, Yemeni government officials said.
