Houthis threaten: "Any Saudi strike in Sanaa will be answered with a strike on the Saudi capital"

A Houthi military spokesman threatened that any Saudi strike in Sanaa would be answered with a strike on Riyadh, in response to an evacuation warning issued by the Saudi-led coalition for the site of the Yemeni oil company in Sanaa. A source familiar with the details told 'Al-Yom' that the Houthis are no longer a militia but an organized and disciplined body, and that conquering Sanaa could lead to a bloodbath.

A military spokesman for the Houthi terrorist organization threatened today (Tuesday) that any Saudi strike in Sanaa would be answered with a strike on Riyadh. The threat came in response to an evacuation warning published by the spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition for the site of the Yemeni oil company in Sanaa. At the same time, media outlets identified with the Houthis reported Saudi strikes in the northern Saada province in Yemen. The Houthi spokesman warned officials and civilians to stay away from the facilities of the Saudi oil giant Aramco. The exchange of threats comes against the backdrop of statements by the pro-Saudi government in Yemen about its intention to conquer Sanaa. A source familiar with the details who visited southern Yemen told 'Al-Yom' that the camp opposing the Houthis is dealing with low motivation, tribal loyalty in the Yemeni army, and tension between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. According to him, conquering Sanaa is possible but involves a bloodbath, and he warned that the Houthis are not a militia of fighters in sandals but an organized and disciplined body.
