DUBAI - A leader of Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement said on Sunday it had resumed drone strikes deep inside Saudi Arabia this month in response to what he called the Saudi-led coalition’s spurning of “peace initiatives” by his group.
“We are independent in our decisions and ... we are not subordinated to anyone,” al-Houthi told Reuters by phone. In the first statement on the attacks from a senior figure, al-Houthi told Reuters the movement had agreed to halt raids last year “in good faith” and had been ready to take more steps. There was no immediate reaction to his statement from Riyadh which has not yet recognized the port pull-out.
