Yemeni missiles target Saudi Arabia's Abha airport

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces says the country's Ansarullah movement has once again targeted Saudi Arabia's Abha airport in retaliation for the kingdom’s deadly airstrikes.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree wrote in a tweet on Wednesday that a cruise missile has targeted plane hangars and led to air traffic being halted in the Saudi airport.

This came after fighters from Popular Committees launched airstrikes against military sites in Saudi Arabia's southern regions of Jizan and Najran on Wednesday afternoon, using domestically-manufactured Qasef-2K (Striker-2K) combat drones.

Also on Wednesday, Saudi fighter jets carried out a dozen airstrikes against the Kitaf wa al-Boqe'e district in Yemen’s mountainous northwestern province of Sa’ada.

There were no immediate reports of casualties and the extent of damage caused.

A civilian also lost his life after Saudi border guards opened fire on an area in the Monabbih district of Sa’ada.
