Houthis threaten siege on Saudi Arabia after Sanaa airport strike
A senior Houthi official warned that Yemen could impose a siege on Saudi Arabia in retaliation for an attack on Sanaa International Airport, signaling a potential break in the recent de-escalation. The Houthis fired missiles at Abha International Airport and pledged further action, while vowing to keep Sanaa–Tehran flights running, raising fears of a broader regional confrontation and possible disruption to Red Sea shipping via Bab al-Mandeb. Yemen’s government accuses Iran of backing the Houthis through flights, heightening regional tensions.
