July 13 (Reuters) - The Iran-aligned Houthi movement that controls northern Yemen accused Saudi Arabia on Monday of launching air strikes against the international airport in Sanaa, and vowed to retaliate.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree called the attacks "blatant aggression" and said it had ended a period of de-escalation in the long-running conflict. He said Saudi Arabia would bear the consequences and that the attack would not go unanswered.

There was no immediate response from Saudi Arabia to the accusations.
