The convoy moved sporadically, taking around an hour or so to cover halfway.
It was now late at night, but the streets were getting more crowded.
The crisp, rapid gunshots were getting clearer, then suddenly, an abrupt barrage of cannon fire, the whistling sound of warplanes, followed by flashes of light and explosions.
Nobody knew where the explosion had occurred, but the crowds on the streets scattered chaotically, running in different directions.
In fact, the blast happened far away. Once people realized there was no immediate danger, they continued on their way.
The convoy abruptly came to halt. Yang Ping peered ahead. Someone knocked on the truck door, and Ershun opened the back.
Manager Qiu leaned in to speak to Yang Ping:
"Saudi coalition air strikes have begun, planes cannot take off. From now on, any aircraft flying in Yemeni airspace must have coalition approval or risk being shot down. The approval process takes quite some time, at least, several days."
