American forces expand weapons stores inside Al-Ghaydah airport

MAHRA, Dec. 14 (YPA) – American forces are working to expand their weapons stores inside Al-Ghaydah airport in Mahra province, east of Yemen.

Sources familiar with the matter said a number of strategic depots being prepared by the US forces inside the civil airport, which was closed to civil flights in early 2018.

The American and British forces took Al-Ghaydah airport, far from the confrontations with the Sanaa forces, as their military base, after the Saudi forces took control of the airport at the end of 2017.

Last August, head of the anti-foreign forces sit-in committee in Mahra, Sheikh Ali Salem al-Huraizy, pointed out the presence of Zionist forces inside al-Ghaydah Airport, who arrived with British reinforcements under the pretext of tracking down the attackers of the Israeli ship “Mercer Street” in the Arabian Sea in early August.

The British newspaper “Daily Express” admitted that its country sent 40 soldiers, in addition to a specialized electronic warfare unit that can eavesdrop on communications, last August, to Al-Ghaydah airport to track down those behind the drone attack that targeted the Israeli oil tanker off the Gulf of Oman, which resulted in the death of a British security guard.
