Yemen: UN experts blame Houthis for attack on Aden airport

Al Jazeera  

Houthis reject a UN report that finds they were likely responsible for the deadly airport attack in December. In a key section of the UN report, a panel of experts concluded “with very high confidence” that “at least two missiles were launched from Taiz airport towards Aden on Dec. 30, 2020, and that it is likely that two additional missiles were launched from the police training centre in Dhamar City”. “Three explosions occurred … minutes after a plane carrying Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed, members of his ‘unity’ cabinet and other senior government officials had landed,” the report said. “The airport was hit by three precision-guided, short-distance, surface-to-surface ballistic missiles carrying fragmentation warheads, likely an extended-range version of the Badr-1P missile, which has been part of the Houthi arsenal since 2018.” The Houthis on Wednesday rejected the report. “Any report on Yemen … issued without an independent committee is rejected,” Houthi political commander Mohammed Ali al-Houthi said.
