The Houthis threatened to launch new attacks against Saudi Arabian airports: “They are potential targets”

Yemeni Houthi rebels issued a formal warning on Sunday declaring Saudi Arabian airspace and airports to be potential targets for future attacks. The group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Sari, specifically advised international airlines and their personnel against operating within Saudi territory, stating that such flights are at risk of being targeted. The announcement includes an explicit exclusion for airports located in the cities of Mecca and Medina.

This threat follows a recent strike against an international airport in Saudi Arabia. The warning represents a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict, as the Houthis move to expand the scope of their operations to include commercial aviation infrastructure within the kingdom.
