Saudi-led Arab coalition spokesman Brigadier General Turki al-Malki said on Monday the Iran-backed Houthi militias have transformed Sanaa International Airport into a military base for their military training and cross-border attacks.
In remarks to Al Arabiya, he stressed the Houthis are a danger to aircraft of United Nations agencies and their relief staff.
Iran has transformed Sanaa airport into a main platform for launching hostile attacks, he added.
Moreover, Tehran has used the facility to deliver all forms of weapons to the militias.
Al Arabiya aired footage of how the Houthis have used a UN plane at the airport in military training.
The Houthis used the aircraft to test their air defense and rocket systems whereby the plane was used as a mock target as it landed at and took off from the airport, showed the video.
The footage showed a suspected foreign expert overseeing the tests, confirming the involvement of Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah members in carrying out hostile attacks and threatening marine navigation and global trade routes in violation of UN Security Council resolution 2216.
The video confirmed previous statements by the Arab coalition that accused the Houthis of transforming Sanaa airport into a military base for the manufacturing and storage of ballistic missiles and armed drones ahead of their use in Yemen and beyond.
