Yemen launches new attack on Saudi airport

Yemeni drones targeted hangers of Riyadh’s warplanes in Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia’s Southwestern province of Asir early on Tuesday.

Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said very early on Tuesday that a new round of attacks were carried out against Abha International Airport of Saudi Arabia, where Riyadh keeps a number of its jet fighters which are used for bombarding civilian areas in Yemen.

Qassif K2 drones opened fire on hangers in the airport where Saudi sources reported at least 5 injuries.

Saree added that the attack inflicted damage on a number of Saudi warplanes, highlighting that the airport’s operations have all come to halt.

“The Saudi regime is trying to hide the fact that the attack put the airport out of operation for several hours,” the Yemeni military official underscored.

Saudi sources later admitted that the attack was carried out at around 00:35 am today.
