The Houthi military spokesman said Saudi Arabia struck Sanaa International Airport with several airstrikes, calling the attack 'unjust aggression' that ends de-escalation efforts. He warned that Saudi Arabia will bear the consequences and that the attack will not go unanswered, according to a statement reported by Houthi-affiliated media.
The Houthi military spokesman on Monday accused Saudi Arabia of launching several airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport, describing the attack as 'unjust aggression' that brings an end to de-escalation efforts. In a statement, he warned that Saudi Arabia will bear the consequences and that the attack 'will not go unanswered.'
The accusation comes hours after the Yemeni anti-Houthi defense ministry issued an evacuation warning for Sanaa airport and its surroundings, as The Zioneer reported at 14:19 Jerusalem. Shortly afterward, at 14:43, another Houthi spokesman warned that an attack would not go unanswered, according to a separate Zioneer bulletin.
The Houthi movement has repeatedly threatened Saudi Arabia in recent weeks, including warnings of strikes on Saudi airports if the blockade on Yemen continues. Saudi Arabia has responded with forceful warnings of its own. The current escalation follows a period of heightened tensions between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, with both sides trading accusations of violating ceasefire efforts.
The Houthi military spokesman's claim could not be independently verified. No Saudi comment on the reported airstrikes has been reported yet.
