Yemeni Drones Bomb Saudi Fighter Jets at Jizan Airport
Yemen’s Army said it has launched drone attacks on fighter jet hangars of Jizan airport in southwest of Saudi Arabia.
In a statement on Saturday, Yemen’s Army Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the Yemeni Qassif-K2 pilotless aircraft have launched attacks on fighter jet hangars of Jizan airport.
Some other parts of the military airbase have been also attacked in the “precise” airstrike, he added, saying Yemen’s aerial operation has halted traffic at the Saudi airport.
The general said the drone attack was a response to the Saudi military campaign against people of Yemen.
Earlier in the week, the Yemeni forces said they launched two attacks targeting military sites at the Jizan airport and high-altitude Abha Airport.
The Houthi Ansarulla movement, which is defending Yemen in the war against the Saudi-led military coalition, has warned of “more painful operations” to come if the Saudi-led forces did not stop airstrikes on Yemeni people.
Saudi Airports Come Under Fresh Yemeni Retaliatory Raids
Yemen’s Ansarullah forces have carried out fresh retaliatory strikes against military sites in Saudi Arabia’s Abha and Jizan airports after bypassing the kingdom’s air defenses.
During the attacks on Thursday night, drones operated by the Yemeni resistance forces once again targeted aircraft hangars and other military positions inside the airports, which have become a regular target for Yemen’s retaliatory attacks.
According to a report by Yemen’s al-Masirah TV network, the attacks disrupted air traffic and delayed at least four flights in Abha.
Saudi media only confirmed the attacks on Jizan airport and quoted military commanders as saying that the drones had been intercepted without elaborating.
The intensified drone attacks over the past months have proven an effective response to the years-long deadly war waged by Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, including the United Arab Emirates, against the impoverished country.
Tens of thousands of people had been martyred since Saudis launched the illegal campaign in March 2015 to restore power to a fugitive president.
The Saudi war, which is propped up by a number of Arab allies and enjoys support from Western governments, have also left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis in dire need of humanitarian assistance.
The Thursday attacks come after the Ansarullah pledged a firm response to Saudi airstrikes earlier this week that targeted two residential houses in the southern province of Taiz, killing eight members of a family.
