The Houthi group announced yesterday the detection of American aircraft in Yemen's airspace and its coast.

The spokesperson for the group, Mohammed Abdel Salam, strongly condemned such activities as a violation of national sovereignty.

Houthis and their ally (Hezbollah from Lebanon) have threatened to respond militarily after the US-UK bombing of certain areas in Yemen controlled by Houthi.
