King Khalid airbase targeted by Yemeni drone

SANAA, May 30 (YPA) – The Yemeni Air Force carried out a retaliatory attack on the King Khalid Air Base in the south-west of Saudi Arabia, near Khamis Mushait.

“King Khalid air base was targeted by a Qasef-2K drone at dawn Sunday,” the spokesman for the Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said.

“The new strike was accurate and hit its target successfully,” he added.

Sare’e stressed that the attack is part of the “legitimate response to the escalation of the Saudi aggression and the continued siege on our dear country.”

This is the second attack in less than 24 hours .

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 across Yemen.
