Yemeni drone hits Saudi regime airbase

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The Yemeni army backed by Houthi Ansarullah fighters used Qasif-1 to do the mission.

The attack came just hours after the spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition hit Yemeni airlines and missiles at Deilemi airport in Sanaa.

Additionally on Friday, clashes erupted between the Houthi fighters and Saudi-backed militants loyal to former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in the port city of Hudaydah, the entry point for most of Yemen’s imports and aid supplies.

Saudi Arabia and its allies launched a brutal war against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall the Riyadh-allied Hadi regime and crush the Houthis.

Back in June, the Saudi-led coalition launched the Hudaydah offensive despite international warnings that it would compound the war-torn nation’s humanitarian crisis.

Saudi Arabia claims that the Houthis are using the port city for weapons delivery, an allegation rejected by the fighters.

The Western-backed imposed war on Yemen, coupled with a naval blockade, has destroyed the country's infrastructure and led to famine.

Yemeni fighters regularly target positions inside Saudi Arabia in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi war on the import-dependent state.
