SANAA, June 16 (Saba) – Yemeni officials denied the validity of the entry of the Saudi-paid mercenaries at Hodeidah International Airport.


Deputy of the General Authority for Civil Aviation and Meteorology of the Airports Sector Mohammed Al-Sharif said in a statement obtained by Saba News agency the images that were circulated in some news and social networking sites about Hodeidah airport were taken on 24 October 2016 When a report was submitted to the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO and the United Nations to clarify the violations committed by the aggression, which criminalize all attacks on civilian facilities of airports.

Al-Sharif added that the fence shown by the channels of aggression as the airport fence is incorrect, and it is a land belonging to one of the members of the House of Representatives located next to the Durahami roundabout.
.
Hodeidah airport’s general director, Ahmed Tarash also denied the news of channels and websites of the aggression which said the coalition forces controlled Hodeidah airport.

He said that Hodeidah airport is destroyed and out of readiness since the beginning of the aggression because of the aerial bombardment of all its facilities, despite it is a civilian establishment, stressing that the news promoted by the media of aggression is baseless.
