The Saudi-led coalition, backing Yemen's internationally recognized government, has pledged a robust response to any aggression against the kingdom or violation of Yemeni sovereignty. This commitment comes in response to escalating threats from the Houthi movement, which recently allowed an Iranian civilian flight to land in Sanaa for the first time in a decade. The arrival of this aircraft, carrying over 200 patients and a Houthi delegation, has been denounced as a breach of Yemeni sovereignty by coalition spokesperson Major-General Turki al-Maliki. He accused the Iran-aligned Houthis of seeking to export economic hardships they have caused and to divert attention from domestic challenges. On Friday, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree issued a statement threatening a comprehensive response targeting Saudi airports and vital interests on land and sea. The Houthis' actions have put civilian infrastructure in Yemen at risk, including ports, airports, power stations, and industrial facilities. The coalition has warned of an unprecedented response to any attempts to target the kingdom or violate Yemeni sovereignty. The coalition also reiterated previous accusations that the Houthis have disrupted shipping lanes and international trade in the southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The emergency meeting held by Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, chaired by President Rashad al-Alimi, condemned the Iranian flight as a violation of Yemeni sovereignty and called on the UN and regional partners to take action against further escalation. The coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015 after the Houthis seized Sanaa and ousted the internationally backed government. The conflict has since caused widespread displacement and damage, with the UN describing the situation as one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises.
