Yemen’s Ansar Allah Announces Attack on Saudi Airport
[]
News From Antiwar.com
Yemen’s Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, announced on Tuesday that its forces targeted a “sensitive site” at the Najran Airport in southern Saudi Arabia using a drone.
Ansar Allah military spokesman Brig.
Gen. Yahya Saree said the attack came in response to the “Saudi enemy’s violation of Yemeni airspace over the Saada and Hajjah governorates with its drones.”
Ansar Allah has been targeting Saudi-linked shipping in the area as part of its new maritime blockade, but so far the group hasn’t taken credit for the attack.
Ansar Allah imposed the blockade on Saudi Arabia in response to Saudi airstrikes that targeted the Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, a US-backed attack that shattered a fragile ceasefire between the two sides that had held relatively well since 2022.
