Drone attacks target Khamis Mushayt airbase in Saudi Arabia

SANAA, June 16 (YPA)- The Yemeni army carried out a large-scale bomb-laden drone attack against a Saudi military airbase in Asir, in the south of Saudi Arabia, Yemeni army spokesman Yahya Sare’e said in a statement on Tuesday.

The attack was carried out on Monday night by five Qasef-2K drones accurately targeting weapon stores, aircraft hangars and sensitive military targets  at the airbase of Khamis Mushayt,” spokesman Yahya Sare’e confirmed.

Sare’e added the attack came in retaliatory response to the war crimes and  ongoing airstrikes against the Yemeni people.

Khamis Mushayt airbase has been hit numerous times in the last months of 2019, in Yemeni retaliatory strikes, amidst a near total inability by Saudi Arabia to intercept the missile and drone strikes.
