Yemen’s Sammad-3 Drones Put Saudi Abha Int’l Airport out of Service

By Staff

The Yemeni resistance continues its retaliatory operations that are targeting this time Saudi Arabia’s Abha International Airport.

Tuesday's operation comes as part of the ongoing response to the five-year long Saudi war against Yemen, after a Sunday operation striking the same target.

A statement read by Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yehya Saree stated that:

With God’s grace and support, the Propelled Air Force targeted on Tuesday at dawn the Abha International Airport with several Sammad-3 drones, hitting its targets accurately, thanks to God.

This targeting comes in the course of the natural response to the continued escalation by the forces of aggression and their continued blockade against the great Yemeni people.

Our operations will continue as long the aggression lasts.

Relatively, Yemen’s al-Masirah network reported that the continued operation against Abha International Airport has put it out of service for several hours.

The Yemeni resistance has been carrying out distinguished military operations over the course of the war against Yemen, most notably in the past two years in which it has been inflicting heavy material and humanitarian losses upon the forces of aggression.

Yemen has been under a brutal Saudi-led military aggression since March 2015. The Saudi war has taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s infrastructure, population and economy.

The United Nations refers to the situation in Yemen as the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with more than half of hospitals and clinics destroyed or closed and millions of Yemenis on the brink of famine.
