The Saudi-led international coalition on Tuesday declared the end of its military campaign four weeks after launching air strikes against the Houthi militia in Yemen, saying their threat to Saudi Arabia and its neighbors had been removed.
The coalition has “ended Operation Decisive Storm based on a request by the Yemeni government and President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi,” its spokesman, Brigadier General Ahmad Al-Assiri, told a press briefing in the Saudi capital.
However, he said the coalition would continue to impose a naval blockade on Yemen and target any movements by the Houthi forces. The coalition have named this new phase of the conflict operation ‘Restore Hope.’
