S. Arabia attacks Sana'a International Airport amid peace talks

Saudi Arabia acted against the spirit of Sweden Agreement by targeting an unmanned airplane in Sana’a International Airport on Wednesday.

In a statement, Saudi coalition claimed that the drone belonged to Ansarullah and carried out the attack to prevent its flight.

The fourth round of Yemeni peace talks ended in Stockholm, Sweden, on Thursday night, just as news agencies were reporting a fresh round of Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen.

The peace talks in Sweden which started on 6 December, were headed by Martin Griffiths, the UN special representative for Yemeni affairs.

It did not take long Saudi Arabia proved its non-compliance with the ceasefire deal by conducting airstrikes against al- Hudaydah.

Over 20,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly Saudi military campaign which has dragged on for years. International pressure has been mounting to halt the war.
