Yemeni forces have launched fresh drone attacks on an airport in Saudi Arabia’s southern province of Najran, retaliating strikes by an invading Saudi-led coalition, Press TV reports.
The al-Masirah TV channel reported that the Air Force of the Yemeni Army and allied fighters from Popular Committees had used Qasif-K2 combat drones for the Sunday operation.
It quoted Yemen’s military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e as saying that the strikes first targeted control and command rooms for Saudi unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the Najran airport and later drone hangers and military sites.
He said the drones had successfully hit their targets and halted air traffic at the Najran airport.
The Saudi-led coalition, he added, has conducted 27 airstrikes on Yemen over the past 48 hours.
