The Saudi Arabia-led Coalition has warned that it will respond with “unprecedented determination and force” to any attempt targeting the Kingdom, its citizens, residents, or national assets.
Coalition spokesperson Major General Turki Al Maliki said the alliance remains committed to protecting Saudi Arabia’s security and supporting efforts aimed at restoring stability in Yemen in accordance with international humanitarian law.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, Al Maliki said recent statements issued by the Houthis were intended to divert attention from what he described as serious violations against the Yemeni people, accusing the group of continuing military and political escalation that threatens regional and international security, Gulf News reports.
He also accused the Houthis of attempting to export Yemen’s economic crisis beyond its borders while targeting maritime trade routes and sea lanes in the southern Red Sea and Bab Al Mandab Strait.
Al Maliki said such attacks had caused significant damage to Yemeni infrastructure, including the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and Salif, as well as Sana’a International Airport, power stations, and industrial facilities.
The Coalition stressed that any future attempts to threaten Saudi Arabia or regional stability would be met with a firm response consistent with international law and efforts to safeguard regional security.
