Riyadh has put some 40 high-ranking Ansarullah officials on a terrorist list after Yemen targeted Riyadh’s international airport.
The leader of the Ansarullah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and the director of the group’s political council, Saleh al-Samad, are among the names on the list.
The Saudis are also offering a reward of up to USD 30 million for information leading to the capture of the officials.
Meanwhile, the kingdom has boosted its blockade on Yemen, shutting down all air, sea, and land ports.
On Saturday, Yemeni forces targeted Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International Airport with a long-range ballistic missile.
Saudi Arabia confirmed the launch but claimed that its air defenses intercepted the missile.
Saudi Arabia has been leading a destructive military campaign against Yemen since March 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the Ansarullah movement.
The campaign has devastated the country’s infrastructure, killing over 12,000 people including many women and children.
