Yemeni Qasef-2k drone hit King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushit

Yemen’s Air forces  carried out on Sunday an offensive operation at King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushit, armed forces spokesman said.

The air force targeted King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait with a Qasef-2k drone, Brig. Gen. Yahya Sare’i said, stressing that the attack was accurate.

He indicated the attack came in response to the escalation of aggression and the continuation of the siege on the Yemeni people.

It is worth mentioning that King Khalid air base was targeted by two Qasef-2K drones at dawn Saturday.

King Khalid air base has been repeatedly targeted due to its military importance in terms of its location closest to the Yemeni border, which makes it easier for Saudi warplanes to take off and hit their targets in less time and without needing to provide fuel in the air as their taking off from the bases and airports from Jeddah and other Saudi cities.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its other regional allies, launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The six years of war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure, Yemeni people are facing malnutrition, hunger, and famine, which have increased risks of disease and starvation.
