Sana'a: The Armed Forces announced the execution of a military operation targeting Abha International Airport. The move comes as a direct response to an attack on Sana'a International Airport by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which took place at 1:54 p.m. on Monday. The Saudi military aircraft targeted the airport with several airstrikes, aiming to halt humanitarian flights carrying patients and stranded persons.
According to Yemen News Agency, the Yemeni Armed Forces engaged the Saudi aircraft, responding to what they termed a treacherous attack. In retaliation, the Yemeni forces launched a military operation involving ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles aimed at Abha International Airport. The operation reportedly achieved its objectives.
The Armed Forces declared that the Saudi decision to attack Sana'a International Airport holds them responsible for the consequences of this aggression, which they claim benefits the American-Zionist enemy. They reiterated their commitment to repelling the aggression and lifting the blockade on Yemen.
The Yemeni Armed Forces also issued a warning to all airlines against entering Saudi airspace, urging them to take the warning seriously until the blockade on Sana'a International Airport is lifted. They expressed gratitude to the Islamic Republic of Iran for its support in facilitating humanitarian flights amidst the ongoing blockade.
The announcement was met with significant public support, as large crowds took to the streets of Sana'a and other regions, demonstrating solidarity with the Armed Forces. The Yemeni people, backed by loyal tribes, remain united against the ongoing aggression and blockade, determined to take necessary measures to deter further attacks.
