Arab coalition launches strikes on military targets at Yemen's Sanaa airport

 RIYADH: The Arab coalition said it is launching “precise and limited” air strikes on legitimate military targets at Sanaa airport on Monday.

The strikes are a response to Houthi threats and the militia's use of airport facilities to launch cross-border attacks, the coalition said.

It added that it had waived protection for specific sites at Sanaa airport in accordance with international humanitarian law.

Earlier, the coalition asked civilians to immediately evacuate the airport.

The coalition called on the workers of international and humanitarian organisations in the airport to immediately evacuate as it has taken “legal measures to deal with the threat operationally.”
