KABUL: Yemen’s Houthi movement has warned that it would target U.S. interests in the region if Washington intervenes militarily in the war in Yemen.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Houthi political bureau, said any U.S. intervention would be met with a swift and painful response.
Al-Bukhaiti also urged workers at Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities and airports to stay away from those sites.
The warning comes after a Houthi attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport reportedly killed 13 people. U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is considering joining Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against the Houthis.
