Yemenis conduct fresh retaliatory drone attack on Jizan airport

Yemeni armed forces have launched a fresh retaliatory drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Jizan airport, the fourth such raid on the kingdom's airports in the past hours.

The al-Masirah TV channel reported that Yemeni army soldiers and allied fighters from Popular Committees had targeted the Jizan airport on Wednesday using Qasif-K2 combat drones.

It quoted Yemen’s armed forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e as saying that the drone strikes had accurately hit the targets and led to the disruption of air traffic at the airport.

He also noted that the attack came in response to the crimes committed by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen and the military alliance's continued siege of the impoverished country.

On Tuesday, the coalition carried out a similar drone attack on the Jizan airport and another two raids on King Khalid air base in Saudi Arabia's southwestern Asir Province.
