Iran Press/ Middle East: The Yemeni air force targeted Abha International Airport in the southwest of Saudi Arabia on Thursday night, using bomb-laden Qasef 2K drones, al-Masirah TV reported.
The attack targeted "military facilities in the airport," the television said, citing a statement by Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The spokesman of the armed forces, Brigadier Yahya Sari said that the drones hit their targets very accurately and led to a disruption in air traffic to and out off the airport.
The Yemeni people have been under massive attacks by a coalition led by the Saudi regime for more than four years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
Official UN figures say that more than 15,000 people have been killed in Yemen since the Saudi-led bombing campaign began.
The Saudi war has impacted over seven million children in Yemen who now face a serious threat of famine, according to UNICEF figures. Over 6,000 children have either been killed or sustained serious injuries since 2015, UN children’s agency said. The humanitarian situation in the country has also been exacerbated by outbreaks of cholera, polio, and measles.203/209
