The Houthi movement in Yemen on Saturday morning issued a statement vowing a 'significant' response to what it called Saudi escalation, insisting it will not surrender. The statement, reported by Ynet, comes amid a period of heightened tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. In recent weeks, the Houthis have issued multiple threats against Saudi targets, including warnings to strike Saudi airports if the blockade on Yemen persists (The Zioneer, July 3). The group has also reaffirmed its support for Iran and warned the US of consequences (The Zioneer, July 13). The latest statement does not specify the nature or timing of the threatened response.
