Yemeni Drones Bomb Saudi Airport in Abha
SANAA (Dispatches) -- Yemen’s army and popular committees on Wednesday carried out drone strikes on airfields in southwestern Saudi Arabia.
The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said four drones were used to target the airfields at the Abha International Airport on Wednesday afternoon.
"The UAV air force targeted the airfields of warplanes at Abha International Airport - which is used for military purposes to target the Yemeni people - with four drones,” he said.
He said the aircraft were of ‘Samad 3’ and ‘Qasef-2k’ types.
The airport, the Yemeni source said, was used for military purposes to target the Yemeni people.
Saree said the strike was in response to the continued Saudi campaign against Yemen. The targets were hit with precision, he added.
The Saudi military confirmed the attack, claiming it had caused a fire in a civilian aircraft which was brought under control.
Yemeni forces have previously hit Abha airport, and regularly launch drones and missiles into Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies – including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – launched the brutal war against Yemen in March 2015.
Since then it has carried out more than 20,000 airstrikes, with one-third striking non-military sites, including schools, factories and hospitals, according to the Yemen Data Project.
The war was to eliminate Yemen’s Ansarullah movement and restore the former Riyadh-backed regime of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to power.
The UN says more than 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.

"The UAV air force targeted the airfields of warplanes at Abha International Airport - which is used for military purposes to target the Yemeni people - with four drones,”

This part of the news does not seems true. Abha is an international airport for passengers traffic - while nearby King Khalid Air Base in Khamis-Mushayt is a sole military base (F-15s are based there).
It seems that attack on Abha is to be in international news as it is soft target and as civilian airport does not have much robust air defence.
While to penetrate King Khalid Air Base's defences will be much difficult and will not get any publicity.

Its a dual use airbase/airport. For its closeness to Yemeni borders, it frequently hosts fighter jets and drones especially for refueling process.

Jeddah airport also hosts fighter jets besides it can be considered as a civilian airport.

I hope there is no civilian casualties,

The Saudis must be the BIGGEST ninkompops that planet earth has EVER seen. So let's get this straight here, the Saudis have LARGE quantities of some of the world's most powerful advanced weapons systems ever to have been built, bought by them from the americans. Yet they are still getting their heads kicked in by sandal wearing houthi rebels with AK-47s........... .............You just couldn't make it up....................it's true what they say, FACT is stranger tha fiction.

if i remember the hadith correctly, there is a prophecy where Prophet Muhammed said a fire/army will rise from Yemen around the time of the Mehdi. one day, what is going to come out of Yemen will be pure vengeance.
