Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree warned that Saudi Arabia would face retaliation if it attacked Sanaa. He also declared oil facilities operated by Saudi Aramco legitimate targets, specifically naming the company’s headquarters in Dammam, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and an oil refinery in Riyadh as potential targets.

Earlier, attacks by Yemen’s Houthi forces on Riyadh’s airport caused significant casualties.

According to international sources, an attack last Saturday killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300. On Sunday, another terminal was hit, killing one person and injuring 11 others. Aviation operations at several Saudi airports were disrupted.
