On Thursday, reports said the Yemeni army forces had launched a drone attack on the Abha airport in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern Asir region.
The Yemeni unmanned combat aerial vehicle was of Qasef-1 (Striker-1) type.
The strike was conducted in response to the US-backed Saudi-led coalition’s deadly military campaign on Yemen.
They also targeted the coalition’s paid fighters’ gatherings with two ballistic missiles, Zelzal1, in Jizan.
Additionally, the Yemeni army’s air defense system managed to shoot down an Apache helicopter belonging to the coalition in Hudaydah Province.
In March 2015, the US backed –Saudi-led coalition started a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.
Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
A UN panel has compiled a detailed report of civilian casualties caused by the Saudi military and its allies during their war against Yemen, saying the Riyadh-led coalition has used precision-guided munitions in its raids on civilian targets.
Sayyad Abdulmalik AL-Houthi claimed on one of his speech that Saudi Arabia is just a tool used by USA and Israel to fight Yemen to conquer it and wrestle control over Red Sea and Bab-AL-Mandab which will enable them to rule the world.
According to several reports, the coalition air campaign against Yemen has driven the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster, as the coalitiondeadly campaign prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country.
Several Western countries have been supplying Saudi Arabia with advanced weapons and military equipment.
