Breaking News: Sana’a Forces’ “War Media” Publishes Coordinates and Images of Key Saudi Airports and Ports
NYN | News
Earlier this evening, Sunday, the war media of the Sana’a government forces published aerial images of several major airports and ports in Saudi Arabia, signaling that they could be targets following threats by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement. Al-Houthi warned that Saudi Arabia would face strikes on its vital facilities if it engages in “hostile actions serving America.”
The war media of Sana’a forces shared on its social media accounts aerial images and coordinates of King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, as well as the ports of Jeddah, Jizan, Ras Tanura, and King Abdullah Port in King Abdullah Economic City. The images were captioned with, “The American is trying to entangle you, and if you want that, try,” a phrase from al-Houthi’s speech delivered this afternoon.

Al-Houthi threatened to target Saudi Arabia’s key infrastructure, including airports, banks, and ports, accusing Saudi Arabia of taking “hostile steps against the Yemeni people in service of America and Israel.” In his televised speech today, he said, “The most important focus of American hostility against our country is the economic field because it affects everyone. The American sent a message to Sana’a confirming that he would push Saudi Arabia to take hostile steps against Yemen.” He added that “the pressure to move the banks from Sana’a is a crazy and stupid step, and no one in the world thinks this way.” He noted that the American understands the negative impact of relocating banks on the living conditions, currency, and prices in Yemen.
Al-Houthi explained that “after the step of relocating the banks, the Saudi moved to disable Sana’a airport and stop flights despite their limited and narrow margin.” He noted that incitement from Israel, America, and Britain to the Saudi continued, demanding the closure of the port. He mentioned that they provided advice and warnings through all intermediaries for the Saudi to retract this “foolish step,” but they are still stalling.
He also stated that the American wants to entangle the Saudi in a comprehensive war, considering that “there is no justification for Saudi’s ‘aggressive’ actions against our people except to serve Israel.” He added, “What they did in the past nine years, occupying large parts of the country, controlling oil wealth, and mobilizing mercenaries and agents to fight their people was not enough for them, so they turned to crazy stupid steps,” according to him.
Al-Houthi emphasized that they would not stand idly by in the face of “their crazy steps or watch the people starve and their economic situation collapse.” He pointed out that “Yemen being engaged in the direct battle to support Gaza does not mean it cannot do something about their hostile steps. Anyone who thinks they can annihilate our people with hunger, disease, epidemics, and severe blockade is mistaken.”
He confirmed that Yemen would respond to any “hostile” step in kind, “banks for banks, Riyadh airport for Sana’a airport, and ports for the port,” stressing that involvement with America and Israel brings loss to Saudi interests and security, and threatens their oil. He sent a message to the Saudi regime, saying, “When you force us into options we have no choice but to take, we will move with full conviction and reassurance, because we are already in war, blockade, and suffering. We will not allow our people to be destroyed and brought to complete collapse to avoid a problem; let a thousand thousand problems happen.”
He concluded, “The American is trying to entangle you, and if you want that, try. If you want good for yourselves and stability for your country and economy, stop your conspiracies against our country. If you get more involved, our escalation will be greater, and do not rely on the American; he is a failure and failed to protect his military vessels in the Red Sea.”
