The Houthi foreign ministry has issued a statement warning of a “reciprocal response” to strikes and a naval blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia, Iranian state news agency IRNA reports.
The ministry says Saudi Arabia’s “continued violations of Yemen’s sovereignty and airspace, along with its targeting of the country, necessitate a reciprocal response”, IRNA reports citing the Lebanese Al Mayadeen news outlet.
Additionally, the statement emphasises the need for “continuing resistance and retaliatory strikes aimed at lifting the illegal blockade on Yemen”.
