The Arab Coalition fighting in Yemen raided an air base next to Sanaa’s airport to knock out drones.
The raids were aimed at drone experts, operators and maintenance sites, as well as a communications system, coalition spokesman Col Turki Al Malki told the Saudi news agency Spa.
“The terrorist, Iran-backed Houthi militia have turned Sanaa airport into a military barracks and a place to launch drones for terrorist attacks that threaten regional and international security,” Col Al Malki said.
He said the targets were legitimate and that the operation was consistent with international humanitarian law.

Checks continue
A High Court judge issued an interim order on Friday suspending a decision by Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots to direct a stop to Brexit agri-food checks at Northern Ireland ports.
Mr Justice Colton said he was making the temporary direction until a judicial review of the minister's unilateral action this week to order a halt to port checks that are required under the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Civil servants have yet to implement the instruction, pending legal clarity on their obligations, and checks are continuing.

Three ways to limit your social media use
Clinical psychologist, Dr Saliha Afridi at The Lighthouse Arabia suggests three easy things you can do every day to cut back on the time you spend online.
1. Put the social media app in a folder on the second or third screen of your phone so it has to remain a conscious decision to open, rather than something your fingers gravitate towards without consideration.
2. Schedule a time to use social media instead of consistently throughout the day. I recommend setting aside certain times of the day or week when you upload pictures or share information.
3. Take a mental snapshot rather than a photo on your phone. Instead of sharing it with your social world, try to absorb the moment, connect with your feeling, experience the moment with all five of your senses. You will have a memory of that moment more vividly and for far longer than if you take a picture of it.
