Yemeni forces, backed by Popular Committees fighters, launched Sunday a drone airstrike against Dubai International Airport.
Yemeni troops and their allies had already targeted the same strategic economic target in the UAE using the same type of home-grown unmanned aerial vehicle in retaliation for the Riyadh regime’s devastating military aggression against their conflict-ridden homeland.
The UAE is Saudi Arabia’s key ally in its deadly war against Yemen.
On July 26, Yemeni army forces and Popular Committees fighters targeted Abu Dhabi International Airport.
Abdullah al-Jafri, a spokesman for Yemeni air force and air defense, said at the time that the drone attack had halted flights to and from the airport, adding this was the first time that Yemeni forces used a drone to attack the airport.
He said Yemeni forces would target the infrastructure of countries that have taken part in the aggression against Yemen in future attacks.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing the government of Yemen's former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power and crushing the country’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The aggression has killed some 15,000 people and injured thousands. More than 2,200 others have died of cholera and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
