Sanaa: The Houthi leader threatens to target vital Saudi facilities, including Riyadh airport, in response to the military escalation. Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah group, threatened to target oil and vital installations in Saudi Arabia if military operations against his group continue.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, these statements come amid escalating tensions between the group and the coalition forces supporting the Yemeni government, particularly in light of airstrikes and cross-border attacks. The group did not disclose specific details of its military options, but clearly indicated that any escalation would be met with strong responses targeting sensitive oil facilities and strategic objectives, including Riyadh airport.

These positions come amidst international efforts to halt the escalation and reopen dialogue channels, while observers warn of dire political and economic repercussions for the Kingdom, Yemen, and the region.
