Yemen’s Houthi rebels vowed to retaliate against Saudi Arabia after they accused the kingdom of targeting civilian infrastructure, as the Middle East war widens across the region, AFP reports.

Riyadh struck Houthi military targets in Hodeida on Friday.

“The Saudi enemy’s targeting of civilian facilities in Hodeida and Kamaran island constitutes a dangerous escalation,” the Houthis’ Ansarollah media posted on Telegram.
