Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said the kingdom will not compromise on its security, accusing the Houthi movement of choosing "chaos," according to Al Jazeera.
"The kingdom will not hesitate to respond firmly to any threat," the crown prince said, according to the report.
Ongoing regional tensions
The remarks come amid a longer-running pattern of tension between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi movement, which controls large parts of Yemen and has periodically been linked to attacks and threats affecting the wider region.
Saudi officials have repeatedly framed the kingdom's posture toward the Houthis as defensive, while warning of firm responses to any escalation.
The available reporting did not specify a particular recent incident that prompted the crown prince's comments, nor did it include a direct response from Houthi representatives.
The statement adds to the broader context of Saudi Arabia's security posture in a region that has seen repeated episodes of cross-border tension in recent years.
