The Huthi rebels warned today that Saudi Arabia "will not be safe as long as it continues with its hostile operations" in Yemen. The threat comes after alleged attacks carried out by Riyadh in Yemeni territory.
The Huthis accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out 300 airstrikes in just five days. This accusation represents a significant increase in violence in the conflict opposing the rebels to the Yemeni government supported by the Saudi-led coalition.
The Huthi rebels, backed by Iran, have controlled much of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, since 2014. The civil war in the country has caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with millions of people depending on humanitarian aid to survive.
