Houthis answer government warning with tribal mobilisation in Amran
The Houthi-run Saba news agency said the Bani Suraim tribes in Amran declared general mobilisation and delivered a supply convoy to the front lines. The Sanaa government spokesman called the threat against the tribes a "grave sin" for which Saudi Arabia would pay. This follows a warning by the recognised government's defence ministry that such gatherings are legitimate military targets.
