US-Iran war expands as Houthis retaliate against Saudi Arabia for attack on Sanaa airport

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday they had carried out a military operation targeting Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport with ballistic missiles and drones, in response to what they described as Saudi airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport.

In a televised statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea warned all airlines against flying over Saudi airspace, urging them to take the warning seriously until what he described as the blockade on Sanaa International Airport is lifted.

Saudi Arabia intercepted missiles "launched by the terrorist Houthi militia toward the southern region," the spokesperson for a Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen said on X.

The Houthis called Monday's attacks on Sanaa airport "blatant aggression," a stance echoed by some of Sanaa’s residents.
