MARIB (Debriefer)--A Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said on Friday its warplanes targeted a Houthi air defence system in a Marib province.
It was completely destroyed and foreign experts operating it were killed in the airstrike, it said in a statement carried by the Saudi press agency.
The agency shared a videotape of the strike when it hit the system.
We are supporting the forces of the internationally recognised government and tribes fighting alongside them and protecting civilians from Houthi missile attacks, it said.
On Wednesday, Saudi media outlets said the coalition destroyed a Houthi air defence system, type SAM 6, in the province.
The Houthi group has not commented on the reports.
It has been intensifying its military operations in the oil-rich province which hosts the headquarters of the defence ministry for more than a month.
