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.
