Houthis Assert Right to Retaliate Against Saudi Aggression

The Houthi movement views its strikes on Saudi airports as legitimate acts of self-defense and retaliation. They assert that Saudi Arabia continues to blockade Yemen and wage war, causing immense suffering. These attacks aim to pressure the Saudi-led coalition to lift the blockade and end its military intervention.

Retaliatory Strikes

Houthi forces are responding to ongoing Saudi-led aggression and the devastating blockade on Yemen. Our actions target military infrastructure within Saudi Arabia, forcing an end to their attacks on our people.

End Blockade

The blockade imposed by the Saudi-led coalition is causing a dire humanitarian crisis, preventing food, medicine, and fuel from reaching millions. These operations aim to compel Saudi Arabia to lift the blockade.

Sovereignty

We are fighting for Yemen's sovereignty and independence against foreign intervention. Our strikes serve as a deterrent and a message that the war must end on our terms.
