Yemen’s Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi warned on Thursday that all Saudi oil and vital facilities would be targets for the group’s missiles and drones if Riyadh escalates its involvement in the conflict.
Escalation in Yemen Conflict
The warning came after the Houthis fired missiles at Saudi Arabia, accusing the kingdom of bombing an airport under their control on Monday, marking a rupture in a four-year truce between the two sides.
The Iran-aligned Houthis have previously targeted Saudi energy infrastructure. In 2019, they claimed responsibility for attacks on two key Saudi oil facilities that temporarily knocked out more than half of the kingdom’s crude output.
Yemen has been mired in civil war for more than a decade since the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention in 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government.
