The Yemen-based Houthi militia has threatened further attacks on Riyadh's airport and Saudi oil facilities, prompting the government to warn of consequences for any future strikes. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree provided coordinates for the named targets in Saudi Arabia, apparently as a warning. Saudi officials issued a strong statement, condemning the terrorist militia for repeated attacks and urging its members to face the consequences.
The Saudi Cabinet expressed condolences to victims of past attacks and praised the coalition fighting the militia. Explosions were reported in Sana’a, with Houthi TV claiming Saudi attacks on oil facilities west of the city. The Yemen Petroleum Company, managed by the Houthis, took precautionary measures. Fighting also continued in other parts of Yemen, with Saudi fighter jets reportedly striking targets in Taiz province.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, warning them of his commitment to never forget their actions, especially if they are linked to Iran ahead of the US elections.
