US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the Houthi militants were "behaving very badly." This came as the group has recently escalated attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the vital Bab al-Mandab Strait. The Houthis also launched attacks on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport in recent days, killing 13 people, wounding more than 300. Trump told reporters that he "might" ask Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan to intervene and support Saudi interests. "President Erdogan, I think, would do as I ask," Trump said. Meanwhile, in a development reflecting the widening scope of military strikes against resources relied upon by the Houthi group, the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen carried out several airstrikes Tuesday on the Al-Sabaha Central Fuel Storage Station, west of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, in an effort to disrupt a key Houthi fuel supply line that supports the group's military operations.
