Thousands of Yemenis rally in Sanaa as tensions flare with Saudi Arabia

Mass rallies are taking place in Yemen, amid increased tensions with neighboring Saudi Arabia.

Yemen's Houthi movement leader has threatened to target Saudi oil facilities and vital infrastructure with missiles and drones.

He's accusing Riyadh of tightening a blockade that deprives Yemenis of essential goods and oil revenue from exporting 90 million barrels per year.

In a major address to his people, the Houthi head called for mass protests across Yemen.
