“We advise airlines not to use Saudi airports because they are used for military purposes in the aggression and blockade on Yemen,” Supreme Political Council member Mohammed al-Bukhaiti tweeted on Wednesday.
He said Yemen seeks to stop the war, but the war cannot end when the other side continues the aggression.
“Just as we are advocates of peace, we are men of war,” the Yemeni official said.
اليمن مع وقف الحرب وتحقيق السلام ولكن وقف الحرب لا يكون من طرف واحد، وكما اننا دعاة سلام فنحن رجال حرب، وامن ومصالح السعودية من امن ومصالح اليمن.

ننصح شركات الطيران بعدم استخدام المطارات السعودية لأنها تستخدم لاغراض عسكرية في العدوان والحصار على اليمن.
The comments came after Yemen’s army and popular committees carried out drone strikes on airfields at the Abha International Airport located in southwestern Saudi Arabia, which they said was used for military purposes to target the Yemeni people.
The Saudi-led coalition confirmed the attack, which Sana’a said was carried out in response to the relentless aggression against the impoverished country.
