In their opinion, foreign countries do not allow the people of Yemen to "distribute their national wealth."

“Our armed forces are capable of depriving Saudi Arabia and the Emirates of their natural wealth if they insist on continuing to deprive the Yemeni people of their natural wealth,” RIA Novosti quoted the Houthis as saying.

In March, an attack by Yemeni Houthis led to a decline in production at an oil refinery in the Saudi Arabian city of Yanbu.
