Ansar Allah call for immediate evacuation of Aden airport

DUBAI/ADEN: Yemen's Ansar Allah on ​Wednesday ​called on people to evacuate immediately from the international airport in Aden, where the internationally recognised, ⁠Saudi-backed government is based.
Ansar Allah ⁠spokesperson Yahya Saree said in his post on X ‌that the evacuation was ​due to ⁠what he said ​was the presence ‌there of a Saudi military ​cargo aircraft carrying weapons. There was no immediate comment from Saudi authorities.
The Ansar Allah, which ‌controls the capital Sanaa ​in the north, has repeatedly ​struck ‌the airport, ⁠a humanitarian lifeline and gateway for southern Yemen.
Explosions ​were heard in ⁠Aden before ​the Houthi warning, residents in the city told Reuters.
