Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility Saturday for launching a series of missile and drone strikes targeting energy facilities owned by Saudi Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that forces deployed dozens of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones against sensitive energy targets in both Red Sea locations.
Spokesperson vows further military action
Saree emphasized that the movement would not hesitate to expand its operational steps based on developing battlefield conditions.
"We emphasize the equation of blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation," Saree said, adding that Houthi air defense systems engaged coalition aircraft executing overnight raids over Hodeidah and Kamaran Island.
The statements follow a warning issued by the Houthi prime minister's office, which declared that continued air strikes on key infrastructure, including Sanaa International Airport, the port city of Hodeidah, and Kamaran Island, will be met with larger military responses across the region.
