Yemen’s Houthis say targeted Saudi airport in retaliation for Sanaa attack

Yemen’s Houthis said they targeted Saudi Arabia’s Abha International Airport in retaliation for strikes on Sanaa International Airport, after Yemen’s Riyadh-backed government claimed responsibility for 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 said in a video statement. He also warned “all airlines against flying through the airspace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” and stressed that the warnings should be taken seriously until the blockade on Sanaa International Airport is lifted.
