Yemen's Houthis warn of 'military response' to US-Israeli attacks if required

Yemen's Houthis have warned they will issue a "military response" if needed by Iran to counter the US-Israeli assault on the country.

Abdul Malik al-Houthi, leader of the movement, said they would "repay loyalty with loyalty" in apparent reference to previous support given to them by Iran.

"Any development in the battle that requires a military response, we will promptly undertake it... just as we did in previous rounds," he said in a televised statement.
