The United States has condemned the Houthis’ continuous attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, stressing that the group is a threat to its allies.
US State Department Spokesman Ned Price said in a virtual press conference that Saudi Arabia was able to eliminate about 90% of Houthi attacks, and “our goal is to see that this number rise to 100%”.
Price indicated that the US policy targeted some Houthi leaders through penalties and accountability, and will further hold them responsible for their actions, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
He added that the USA will keep working with its partners in Saudi Arabia to stand against Houthi attacks as more than 375 cross-border attacks against the Kingdom have taken place since the beginning 2021.
Earlier on Dec. 24, Houthis launched a military projectile that hit a commercial store in the Samtah governorate in the southern Jazan region of Saudi Arab.
The hit resulted in the death of a Saudi citizen and a Yemeni resident, injuring seven civilians and damaging two shops and 12 vehicles.
