Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters seize airdropped Saudi weapons

‘Members of Yemen’s Popular Committees together with Houthi Ansarullah fighters have seized a consignment of firearms and munitions that Saudi military aircraft had airdropped to allied militants in the southwestern province of Lahij.

Local sources, requesting anonymity, said Saudi jets airdropped the weapons close to al-Anad military airbase on Monday in the hope that they will be collected by forces loyal to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, Yemen-based Arabic-language Khabar news agency reported.

The ammunition, however, fell into the hands of Popular Committees fighters as well as Ansarullah revolutionaries, the sources added.’
