TEHRAN (Defapress) - Yahya Saree, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, stated in a speech: This morning (Friday) at 5:20, several Saudi coalition fighter jets violated Yemeni airspace and attempted to prevent the landing of an Iranian civilian plane at Sanaa International Airport; the plane was transporting more than 200 trapped, injured, and sick Yemeni citizens.
