AIThe Yemeni Armed Forces have accused the Houthi militia of turning the airspace over the southern Red Sea into a threat zone for civilian aircraft, warning that this escalation poses a grave danger.
Colonel Majid Abdullah Al-Nazili, official spokesperson for the armed forces, said the threat to southern Red Sea airspace and its transformation into a danger zone for civilian planes and passengers represents a highly dangerous escalation. He added that this goes beyond the safety of Yemeni airspace and threatens international airspace as well.
Al-Nazili, in an official statement, added that the use of these Iranian weapons from Yemeni territory constitutes a direct threat to international air navigation. He stressed that this cannot be considered a purely Yemeni issue, but rather a threat to global security and safety that requires a responsible and firm response from relevant bodies, especially the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Air Transport Association.
