Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels threaten Saudi Arabia’s airports and vital assets should Riyadh violate its airspace or attempt to attack it, as the rebels accuse the kingdom of an earlier airspace intrusion.
“We warn the criminal Saudi enemy against repeating any attempt to violate our airspace or any aggression targeting our country. Such actions will be met with a comprehensive response targeting its airports and vital interests on land and sea,” military spokesman Yahya Saree says in a video statement.
