Yemen’s Houthis threaten Saudi Arabia after alleged airspace intrusion
- Threats escalate after Houthis block Saudi warplanes, allowing Iranian aircraft to land in Sanaa for first time in about a decade.
- The Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognised government says it will respond with “unprecedented determination and force” to any attempt to target the kingdom or violate Yemeni sovereignty.
- This followed earlier threats from the Houthi movement and the arrival of an Iranian civilian flight in Yemen’s Houthi-controlled capital, Sanaa.
