The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said four drones had been used to target the airfields at the Abha International Airport on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He said the aircraft were of ‘Samad 3’ and ‘Qasef-2k’ types.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The airport, the Yemeni source said, was used for military purposes to target the Yemeni people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Saree said the strike was in response to the continued Saudi campaign against Yemen. The targets were hit with precision, he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Saudi-led coalition has confirmed the attack, claiming it had caused a fire in a civilian aircraft which was brought under control.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies – including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – launched the brutal war against Yemen in March 2015.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The war was to eliminate Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore the former Riyadh-backed regime of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to power.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The UN says more than 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.<\/p>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2021-02-10 21:53:48","content_date_finish":"2021-02-10 21:53:48","content_date_register":"2021-02-10 22:04:52","content_date_last_edit":"2021-02-10 22:04:52","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","tag_id":"59555","tag_word":"drone strikes,drone strikes,Yemen,Yemen","tag_service":"0","tag_total":"2","tag_soundex":"","attach_token":"2630285796","attach_date_register":"2021-02-10 22:04:44","attach_id":"13870","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"650","attach_img_height":"365","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"207","visit_date_last":"2024-11-24 09:05:12","attach_title":"Yemeni drones target airfields of Saudi warplanes 2","node_title":"News,Yemen","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":98, \"left\":2, \"right\":11},{\"node_id\":123, \"left\":57, \"right\":58}]","node_number":"4","allowable_node":"4"}]]
