Ghebreyesus himself spoke out about the attack and said that they were preparing to fly at the time of the attack.
“As we were preparing to board our flight from Sa’ana, about two hours ago, the airport was bombed from the air. One of our crew members was injured. At least two people were killed at the airport,” he said.
He said the attack was carried out just a few meters away.
“The attack, which occurred just a few meters from where we were, damaged the runway, the passenger area and the air traffic control tower,” he said.
