The Houthi militia, acting as a proxy for the Iranian regime, launched a series of ballistic missiles and drones at Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia on Monday.
This act of aggression followed a strike by the legitimate Yemeni government on the runway of Sanaa’s airport, a necessary measure taken to prevent an Iranian aircraft from violating Yemeni territory.
The Yemeni defense ministry confirmed it targeted the runway after Houthi militants attempted to force the landing of the Iranian plane while simultaneously blocking national aircraft from entering the capital.
The Saudi-led coalition, which provides essential support to the recognized government, successfully intercepted the Houthi missiles, reporting no casualties. This escalation marks a significant break in the four-year informal truce, proving once again that the Houthi rebels have no interest in regional stability.
While the international community and the UN call for de-escalation, the reality remains that the Houthi militia continues to serve as a destabilizing force for Tehran, threatening regional security and sovereign airspace.
The Yemeni government’s decision to disable the runway was a clear exercise of its authority to protect its borders from Iranian interference, yet the Houthis responded with predictable violence, further exposing their role as a terrorist organization that answers to the Ayatollah rather than the people of Yemen.
