The Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism of the Yemeni government, Muammar Al -Iryani, held the Houthi terrorist militia responsible for destroying Yemeni Airlines aircraft at Sanaa airport.

Al -Iryani said in a press statement that the militia ignored the requests of the company’s chairman to transport the remaining planes to Aden airport or any external airport, which led to the destruction of the last plane, bringing the number of affected planes to four, with an estimated market value of $ 130 million.

Al -Iryani described what happened as a "deliberate crime", accusing the Houthis of turning Yemen's capabilities into "ashes" and using state institutions to implement an Iranian agenda. The minister warned of the danger of the militia's continued control of the capital, calling on the Yemenis not to be silent.
