Saudi warplanes destroy Yemen's airports

Saudi-led air strikes struck military and civilian airports in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Saturday, destroying the runways, after five-day peace talks in Geneva collapsed, officials and residents said.


An airport official told Xinhua that the air strikes destroyed the runways of the civilian Sanaa international airport and its adjacent al-Dailamy air force base in northern Sanaa at midnight.

"It seems it would be difficult for Houthi representatives to go back home next Monday and land here after failing to strike a truce in Geneva talks," the official said on condition of anonymity.

Residents near the airports said they heard fighter jets hovering above before six powerful explosions rocked the whole area............Saudi warplanes destroy Yemen's airports - China.org.cn
