Yahya al-Houthi, one of the leaders of the Houthi rebels in Yemen has posted online a statement welcoming "the honorable Islamic and humanitarian position of the Majlis that has condemned the Saudi aggression against our Yemeni people and our dear homeland, and we thank them for their honorable attitude that has been absent among the Arab relatives."

Meanwhile, the Saudis have intensified their air war against the Houthis following the firing of a Katyusha missile on a Saudi military base on the border.

In Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, demonstrators have removed the street signs on Iran Street and replaced them with signs bearing the name of Neda Soltan, the young Iranian woman shot dead on the streets of Tehran by Iranian security forces in June's post-presidential election protests in Iran.
