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 two Qasef-2K drones at dawn Saturday,” the spokesman for the Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e said.
تمكن سلاح الجو المسير بفضل الله من تنفيذ عملية هجومية أستهدفت قاعدة الملك خالد الجوية بخميس مشيط بطائرتين قاصف 2k وكانت الإصابة دقيقة.
يأتي هذا الإستهداف في إطار حقنا المشروع والطبيعي في الرد على العدوان وحصاره المتواصل على شعبنا العزيز.— العميد يحيى سريع (@army21ye) May 28, 2021
“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.”
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.
