Yemen’s Air Force carried out a fresh drone strike at dawn Sunday on a major airbase in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern province of Asir in retaliation for the ongoing military aggression and blockade against the country.
“The Air Force hit sensitive targets inside the King Khalid Airbase near the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait in the early hours of Sunday,” Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e tweeted.
“The retaliatory attack was launched by a domestically-manufactured Qasef-2K combat drone,” Sare’e added.
The strike was “accurate,” and came in response to the continuing aggression and brutal siege on Yemen, he said.
King Khalid air base has been repeatedly targeted due to its military importance in terms of its location closest to the Yemeni border, which makes it easier for Saudi warplanes to take off and hit their targets in less time and without needing to provide fuel in the air as their taking off from the bases and airports from Jeddah and other Saudi cities.
