Attacks Retaliate Against Saudi Aggression and Blockade in Yemen
The Houthi movement asserts its right to self-defense by targeting Saudi infrastructure in response to the Saudi-led coalition's military intervention and blockade in Yemen. They view these strikes as a legitimate warning and a means to pressure Saudi Arabia to end its involvement in the civil war.
Retaliation for Attacks
These strikes are a direct and necessary response to the Saudi-led coalition's relentless air strikes on Yemen, including the targeting of Sanaa International Airport.
Legitimate Targets
Saudi airports, excluding those in the holy cities, are considered legitimate military targets due to Saudi Arabia's active role in the aggression against Yemen. Airlines and passengers have been warned.
End the Intervention
Our operations deep inside Saudi Arabia aim to pressure the Kingdom to halt its military campaign, end its blockade, and allow for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen.
Houthi Attacks on Civilians are Terrorist War Crimes
Saudi Arabia vehemently condemns the Houthi missile and drone strikes on its civilian airports as grave acts of terrorism and undeniable war crimes. The Kingdom asserts its sovereign right to defend its territory and people from these aggressive and indiscriminate attacks, vowing a decisive response against the Houthi perpetrators.
Civilian Targets
Targeting civilian airports, passenger halls, and causing casualties among innocent travelers and workers constitutes a heinous war crime and an act of terrorism, not legitimate military action.
Right to Self-Defense
Saudi Arabia has an unequivocal right to defend its sovereign territory and its citizens from these barbaric and unprovoked Houthi aggressions. We will respond decisively to protect our nation.
Threat to Region
These repeated attacks destabilize the entire region, threaten international aviation, and demonstrate the Houthis' disregard for human life and international law. The international community must condemn these actions.
