Washington: Yemen-s Houthi rebels, who claimed responsibility for devastating Saturday attacks on Saudi oil facilities, threatened on Monday to carry out more strikes and urged foreigners to stay away. "We assure the Saudi regime that our long hand can reach any place we want at any time we choose. We warn companies and foreigners not to stay in the plants that we have targeted because they are still within our reach and could be targeted again," Houthi military spokesman Brigadier Yahya Saree said.

-Locked and loaded-

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump earlier warned that the US is "locked and loaded" to respond to the unprecedented drone strikes on key Saudi oil facilities.
"Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!" Trump tweeted on Sunday.
