Sana'a forces attacked the Aden airport with several missiles yesterday, after a military transport plane carrying a large shipment of ammunition arrived there. The spokesman for the same forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sari, called for a quick evacuation of the airport before it was bombed, and charged Saudi Arabia with responsibility for turning it into a military base for transporting weapons and equipment to factions loyal to it. A military source in Sana'a, in turn, reported to Al-Akhbar that several Saudi military transport planes were observed landing during the last few hours, which indicates that Riyadh used the facility to transport additional weapons shipments by air to support its presence in the southern provinces, and to prepare for a military escalation south of Bab al-Mandab. According to the source, any military transport plane landing at any occupied Yemeni airport would be a legitimate target.
