Heavy Explosions Reported in Jizan As Saudi Arabia Suspends Flights in Jeddah, Riyadh

IQNA – Following the recent Saudi aggression on various regions of Yemen, the Yemeni armed forces launched extensive attacks on several areas in Saudi Arabia, as reports suggest the suspension of flights at the Jeddah and Riyadh airports.

The Yemeni forces targeted Saudi Arabia with heavy missile and drone attacks.

Sources said that more than 5 explosions shook the Saudi city of Jizan early on Saturday.

Following the attack, columns of smoke rose in Jizan while unofficial reports indicate that the industrial zone in the city was targeted by Yemenis, resulting in power outages in several areas.

The Naya Telegram channel also reported that after the Yemeni armed forces attacked Saudi Arabia, Jeddah and Riyadh airports suspended flights.

The Al-Nujaba network also reported that Yemeni missile attacks targeted an Aramco oil facility inside the Jizan industrial zone.

Yemeni sources compared the morning attacks on Saudi Arabia to Iranian attacks on US military targets in Arab countries, saying the intensity of Yemeni attacks on Saudi Arabia is similar to Iranian attacks on US bases in the region.

Saudi authorities also issued instructions prohibiting residents from taking and publishing sensitive images.

In response to Friday night's Saudi airstrike on Yemen’s port city of Hudaydah, the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs had emphasized that Sana’a will define the next stage of the “escalation against escalation” equation against the Saudis.
