The Houthi armed forces in Yemen issued a statement today claiming that their armed forces targeted "large-scale gathering targets" of Saudi Arabia in multiple locations throughout Yemen, using several ballistic missiles and drones in the operation. The statement noted that the action was aimed at striking at Saudi military gatherings preparing to launch an escalation against areas controlled by the Houthis, resulting in numerous casualties among "pro-Saudi armed personnel," and destroying several military camps, weapon depots, and military equipment, as well as a large number of military vehicles. The statement warned the Saudi side against taking further military action, stating that they "will bear the consequences," while also calling for the withdrawal of Yemeni personnel fighting for the Saudi side from relevant military camps. It further stated that the Houthi forces are prepared to respond to any military escalation and will continue to adhere to their principle of "responding to blockade with blockade" until the blockade on Yemen is lifted.
