Al Arabiya: Iran plane breaches Yemen no-fly zone
Coalition forces have carried out a bombing raid on the runway at Sanaa airport on Tuesday, to prevent an Iranian civilian plane from landing there, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.
The raid took place after the plane defied the coalition-enforced no-fly zone over Yemen entering the airspace from Oman. The no-fly zone has been in force since March 25, 2015 when Operation Decisive Storm began.
Saudi Brigadier General Ahmed Asiri said the Iranian plane had entered Yemeni airspace in a non-allocated time slot.
WNU Editor: If this report is true .... I hope this Iranian plane had enough fuel to get back to where it come from.
