The Houthi militia has vowed to launch further attacks on Saudi military bases in retaliation for the ongoing blockade of Yemen and the Saudi airstrikes, according to the group's spokesman, Yahya Saree. The Houthi spokesman declared that the group will persist in targeting Saudi military positions until the aggression against Yemen ceases and the blockade imposed on Houthi-controlled areas is lifted.

In a recent large-scale operation, the Houthi militia conducted a barrage of more than 300 ballistic missiles and drones at King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait, causing significant damage to aircraft hangars, radar systems, runways, and ammunition depots. This attack followed more than 300 Saudi air strikes on Yemeni governorates over the past five days, involving F-15 and Typhoon aircraft launched from Khamis Mushait and Taif.

Saree warned that further attacks would be met with "broader and more intense operations" carried out deep inside Saudi territory, signaling a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict.
