The Spokesperson of the Saudi-led Coalition's forces Turki al-Malik has said a plane for the International Committee for the Red Cross has changed its air route on Tuesday after taking off from Sana'a Airport to Djibouti.

He pointed out that the coalition's forces communicated with the plane and the crew did not answer to the signals, so as directive orders have been given to push the plane away of the operation area and clashes but with no avail and then was forced to land at King Abdullah Regional Airport in Jazan.

He declared that what the crew made was stark violation to the aviation rules and endangered the safety of the airspace and four passengers.
