Saudi Arabia uses its airports to aid the Yemeni people


The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen announced yesterday that “Saudi airports are ready to receive relief planes in light of the Houthis’ closure of Sanaa airport”.

The coalition said in a statement: “The Houthis have closed Sana’a airport to UN and international organizations’ planes since December 19”, it said.

In an earlier statement, the coalition said: The Houthi military use of Sana’a airport has negatively impacted UN flights.

The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen confirmed that Sanaa airport has become a military base for experts from the Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah. It noted that the militia uses sites with legal immunity to carry out cross-border attacks and announced that it will take legal measures to eliminate immunity if necessary to protect civilians.

In a related context to Houthi crimes, a girl was killed and two women were injured yesterday by Houthi militia bombardment by flying a civilian vehicle in Maqbanah district, west of Taiz.

In addition, joint forces on Yemen’s west coast announced yesterday that dozens of Houthi elements were killed in clashes and airstrikes by the Coalition for the Support of Legitimacy in fronts west of Taiz and east of Al Hudaydah.

Dozens of Houthi fighters were killed and several others wounded in violent clashes between the joint forces, supported by coalition air forces, and the militias on the Saqm front, north of Maqbanah district, west of Taiz, and on the Jabal Ras front, east of Al Hudaydah province, according to the joint forces’ media.

A field source was quoted as saying: “The joint forces, with the support of the coalition’s air force, have inflicted heavy losses on Houthi militias in heavy fighting with the militias in Saqm and Jabal Ras”.
