Yemen's al-Houthi leader threatened to bomb vital sites in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. He said Saudi Arabia should abandon its "illegal ambition" if it wanted to be reassured.
In a television interview conducted by Al-Massira on Monday night, Al-Houthi said that Saudi Arabia must abandon its illegal ambitions to control and confiscate the right of the Yemeni people to freedom and stop its aggression on Yemen if it wants to be reassured.
The Huthi leader said he hoped the letter would reach the Saudi authorities and change its "hostile" policy toward Yemen.
"Our missiles are capable of reaching Riyadh and beyond Riyadh, to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and vital and sensitive targets of the forces of aggression," Houthi said.
Al-Houthi also said that "the Emirati is embroiled in the problem in Yemen," which poses real risks to the UAE economy. "If the aggression continues, the UAE economy and investment there will be exposed to real risks."
This comes hours after the Houthi group announced the launch of a ballistic missile towards a camp of the Saudi army west of Jazan, the killing of Saudi officers, as well as after the announcement of the fall of a march aircraft to the alliance led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
At the same time, the group accused Saudi Arabia of wounding a man in the border province of Saada after the bombing of missiles and artillery, after Saudi Arabia launched two raids on the Directorate of Nhm in Sanaa and the area of Mafalis Taiz, without causing casualties.
Houthi threatened in September to bomb Jebel Ali in Dubai and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia if the Saudi-Saudi alliance attacked the port of Hodeidah.
A year ago, the Wall Street Journal reported that the escalation of the Huthis in Yemen targeting Saudi oil facilities threatens the kingdom's economic engine and increases the geopolitical tension that helps raise oil prices to their highest levels since 2014.
