Turki Al-Maliki, spokesperson of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen. “The Coalition also intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile in the vicinity of the airport,” he said.
Al-Maliki said that that Terminal 4 of the airport was targeted by an unidentified projectile, resulting in a fire, and the relevant authorities have responded to the incident.
The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) confirmed that the new attack at the airport on Sunday afternoon resulted in injuries. “An assessment of the damage and verification of the safety of the facilities is underway, in coordination with the relevant authorities,” GACA added.
