Saudi-led airstrikes destroy air navigation system of Yemen's capital airport: spokesman

China Daily  

A picture taken on November 14, 2017 shows a Yemeni man driving a motorcycle past a communications tower that was destroyed in Saudi-led air strikes on the city of Taez. SANAA - Saudi-led coalition launched three airstrikes on the main civil airport north of Yemen's capital Sanaa on Tuesday, completely destroying the airport's air navigation system, the airport's spokesman Mazin Ghanim told Xinhua. "The air navigation system was totally destroyed by airstrikes, and a technical engineering team is studying possibilities to provide the airport with an alternative system," Ghanim said. The coalition of 10 Arab countries led by Saudi Arabia and backed by the United States intervened in Yemen's conflict in March 2015 to recapture territories including the capital Sanaa from Iran-aligned Yemeni Shiite Houthi rebels. On Tuesday, Yemen's airline said a commercial plane landed at Aden international airport after acquiring permits from the Saudi-led coalition.
