The
statement, made by the spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition
and published by the Saudi state media, followed media reports
of an attack on an armoured division belonging to the
Iran-aligned Houthis near the Yemeni capital.
The spokesperson, Turki al-Maliki, denied the report, adding
that "no military operation has been carried out in the vicinity
of Sanaa or any other Yemeni cities over the past period (..)
with the aim of preparing the political ground for a peace
process."
