Houthis say they targeted southern Saudi airport in retaliation for Sanaa attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYemen’s Iran-backed Houthi terror group says it targeted Saudi Arabia’s Abha airport in retaliation for strikes on Sanaa airport that they blame on the kingdom — though the Riyadh-backed Yemeni government claimed those attacks.
“In response to this criminal Saudi aggression, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting Abha International Airport, using a number of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says in a video statement.
He also warns “all airlines against overflying the airspace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and stress[es] that these warnings should be taken seriously until the blockade on Sanaa International Airport is lifted.”
