RIYADH, Dec 19, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The Saudi-led coalition fighting on the
side of Yemen’s government said it launched an air strike Wednesday at the
airport in the rebel-held capital Sanaa, destroying a drone.
It is the first air strike that the alliance has confirmed carrying out
since a ceasefire was agreed at peace talks in Sweden last week for the
battleground port city of Hodeida.
The coalition said in a statement carried by the state-run Al-Ekhbariya
news channel that it targeted an unmanned aerial vehicle and “destroyed the
aircraft that was in the process of preparing to be launched”.
