Yemen accuses Iran of breaching airspace restrictions

Yemen’s internationally recognized Presidential Leadership
Council, backed by Saudi Arabia, has accused Iran of violating the
country’s sovereignty and undermining regional security,
AzerNEWS reports.

According to Yemen’s state-run Saba News Agency, the accusations
followed Iran’s decision to send a civilian aircraft to Sanaa
despite restrictions on the country’s airspace.

The aircraft reportedly transported a Houthi delegation to
Tehran to attend the funeral of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali
Khamenei.

In a statement, the Yemeni government described the flight as “a
blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Yemen,
international law, and United Nations Security Council
resolutions.”
