Details
It is noted that the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center, which is affiliated with the Houthis, attributed this to the latest attacks on Yemeni territory.
Given the aggression of the Saudi Air Force against our country and concerns about the safety of civil aviation and people’s lives, the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center warns all airlines operating in Saudi Arabia’s airspace that this airspace is dangerous ... and may be a site of operations by our armed forces
The Center warned that Yemen would not be responsible for any incidents that might occur, but clarified that this does not apply to the airspace over Mecca and Medina—the two holy cities of Islam.
