A spokesman for the Houthi militia today (Tuesday) posted an implicit threat on a Twitter account regarding the Expo exhibition.
"Expo, with us you may lose," the spokesman wrote, recommending a "change of direction" exhibition.
At the same time, the militia's propaganda page published a picture of the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai with the caption: "The tallest tower in the world, but it is no longer safe - the UAE is unsafe."
