Yemeni Armed Forces reiterated on Sunday a warning to airlines, aviation personnel, airport workers, and travelers against using Saudi airports and airspace, declaring them potential targets and a theater of military operations, with the exception of airports in Mecca and Medina.
In a statement, Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree urged all concerned parties to take the warning seriously, holding Saudi Arabia responsible for any attempts to intercept Yemeni operations.
The Yemeni Armed Forces reaffirmed their commitment to pursuing the strategy previously announced as “an airport for an airport, a blockade for a blockade, and escalation for escalation,” vowing to continue until their objectives are achieved.
القوات المسلحة اليمنية تجدد تحذيرها لكل الشركات الملاحية الجوية والخبراء والموظفين والعاملين والمسافرين من استخدام المطارات والأجواء السعودية لأنها معرضة للاستهداف ومسرحا للعمليات من قبل قواتنا باستثناء مطاري مكة المكرمة والمدينة المنورة. وتهيب بالجميع لأخذ تحذيراتنا على محمل الجد وتتحمل السعودية مسؤولية أي اعتراضات فاشلة. وتؤكد القوات المسلحة أنها ماضية في تثبيت المعادلات المعلنة معادلة المطار بالمطار والحصار بالحصار والتصعيد بالتصعيد حتى تحقيق أهدافها.

Earlier on Saturday, Member of Yemen’s Ansarullah Politburo Mohammad Al-Bakhiti warned that Saudi regime plots to target holy sites in Mecca and Medina and to blame Yemen for attacks.
In exclusive remarks to Al-Manar on Friday, Al-Bakhiti revealed that Riyadh had supplied Saudi-backed mercenaries in Yemen with missiles and drones to carry out attacks and blame them on Yemeni Armed Forces.
