According to CCTV, thousands of people gathered in Sanaa on Friday to protest against the blockade, foreign intervention, and U.S. military operations in the region.

The rally took place in Al-Sabeen Square in the Houthi-controlled capital amid heightened tensions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia earlier this week.

Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV claimed on Monday that Saudi Arabia had carried out airstrikes targeting the runways of Sanaa International Airport.

Later that day, the Houthis announced that they had launched a ballistic missile and drone attack on Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia.

A statement issued during the demonstration alleged that the United States had violated the ceasefire and reignited conflict in the region, accusing the Washington administration of destabilizing Iraq, Palestine, Syria, Yemen, and Sudan.

The conflict in Yemen intensified after the Houthis seized control of Sanaa in late 2014 and deepened further when the Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
