Saudi Coalition Attacks Air Base Next to Yemen Airport

Local Editor

The Saudi-led military coalition fighting in Yemen raided an air base adjoining Sanaa’s airport, Saudi news agency SPA said late Wednesday.

The raids targeted drone maintenance sites, a communications system and locations of drone experts and operators, SPA quoted coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Maliki as saying.

Earlier, Al-Masirah TV said 13 airstrikes targeted al-Dulaimi Air Base in Sana'a.

A resident of the capital told Reuters violent explosions rocked the north of the city where Sana'a airport and the military base are located.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Sunni Muslim allies have been fighting since March 2015 against the Houthis in a bid to forcefully reinstate the resigned regime.

The war has devastated the country’s infrastructure and driven much of its population to the brink of famine.
