Yemen’s Houthi movement has threatened to impose a blockade on all Saudi airports, invoking an “airport-for-airport” strategy in response to restrictions on airports in Houthi-controlled territory.The group says its actions are retaliation for Saudi strikes on Sanaa International Airport and Hodeidah airport, as fighting intensifies in western Yemen near the strategically important Bab al-Mandeb Strait.The warning comes amid wider tensions over maritime access and transport routes across the Middle East. A threat to impose an air blockade does not mean Saudi airports have been shut.
