Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree: By the grace of God, the Yemeni Armed Forces have successfully carried out a military operation using drones. The attack targeted a sensitive site of the Saudi enemy at Najran Airport. These operations come in response to the Saudi enemy's violation of Saada Governorate's airspace with its drones. The Armed Forces will continue to protect Yemen's sovereignty from any breach and to enforce this equation, God willing.
