Yemen Rebels threaten UAE &Riyadh Ports and Airports

7 November 2017 English

Yemen’s Huthi rebels on Tuesday threatened retaliation against the ports and airports of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, which this week closed the Yemeni land, sea and air borders.

“All airports, ports, border crossings and areas of any importance to Saudi Arabia and the UAE will be a direct target of our weapons, which is a legitimate right,” read a statement released by the rebels’ political office.

  • The Houthi’s statement comes the day after the coalition announced it had closed all of Yemen’s borders, after Saudi forces intercepted a ballistic missile headed for the kingdom’s international airport in Riyadh.
