The Houthi group said that the Saudi-Emirati coalition planes targeted a camp east of Sanaa early Sunday, after Saudi Arabia announced that it had intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis on the cities of Riyadh and Jizan (south).
Houthi media said that three raids of the Saudi-Emirati alliance targeted the Al-Jumayma camp in the Bani Hushaish area, east of Sanaa, at dawn on Sunday.
Earlier, the Houthi military spokesman said that their air defenses had intercepted enemy aircraft in the Sanaa sky area before carrying out attacks.
These raids come hours after the spokesman of the Saudi-Emirati coalition forces, Turki al-Maliki, confirmed that the anti-coalition forces intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis in the skies of Riyadh and Jizan.
The shrapnel from the two rockets hit residential neighborhoods, wounding two civilians in Riyadh.
Al-Maliki considered that the launching of ballistic missiles by the Houthis at this time expresses "the real threat to this terrorist militia and the Iranian regime supporting it", and that this escalation "does not reflect the declaration of the Houthi militia to accept the ceasefire."
For his part, an official source at the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed his country's strong condemnation and condemnation of what he described as the heinous crime represented in firing missiles at Riyadh and Jizan.
The source affirmed Kuwait’s full support to Saudi Arabia and its support in all its measures to maintain its security and stability.
The Yemeni writer and political analyst Ahmed Al-Moayyad said that the bombing of Saudi Arabia is a response to "its aggression against Yemen," saying that targeting the Saudi economy came because it funds the war on Yemen, as he put it.
The writer and political analyst Asad Bishara told Al-Jazeera that the Houthi strikes on the Saudi depth double the chances of drawing an exit strategy for the coalition from the Yemen war.
