"Two mined boats were eliminated in the province of Al Hudaydah while preparing to attack," the statement said as broadcast by Saudi state-run TV Channel Al Ekhbariya.
Yemen has been struggling with an armed conflict between the government forces led by President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi and the Houthi rebels since 2014. A coalition of countries led by Saudi Arabia launched a military operation to support the internationally recognized Hadi government in 2015. The Houthis continue to maintain control over a vast area in the north of the country, including the capital of Sanaa.
