Yemen's Houthi revolutionaris warned on Saturday they could launch attacks against the capitals of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who lead a military coalition bombing the country.
"We have aerial photographs and coordinates of dozens of headquarters, facilities and military bases of the enemy," Yemeni military spokesman Yahya Saree said in comments carried to Al-Masirah channel.
"The legitimate targets of our forces extend to the capital of Saudi Arabia and to the emirate of Abu Dhabi," capital of the UAE, he said. "We have manufactured advanced generations of attack aircraft, and new systems will soon be functional."
The Houthis have targeted Saudi border towns and Riyadh with ballistic missiles and also claimed drone attacks on the airports of Abu Dhabi and Dubai during the course of the conflict.
Saudi Arabia has said the missiles were all intercepted by its air force, with one civilian reported killed by falling shrapnel, while the UAE has denied the alleged drone attacks.
Saudi Arabia and its military allies launched a military campaign against Yemen at the request of former President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi in March 2015. The Saudi-led war triggered what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
Some 10 million Yemenis face mass starvation, according to the UN.
The World Health Organization estimates nearly 10,000 people have been killed in Yemen since 2015. Other rights groups estimate the toll could be much higher.
