SANAA, Yemen, July 9 (NNN-SABA) – Yemen’s Houthi rebels said, they attacked airport and Tahamah power plant, in Saudi Arabia’s southern city of Abha on Monday night, using bomb-laden drones.
The drones hit the targets at the airport and the power plant, the report said, citing a statement by the group’s military spokesman.
The attacks forced air traffic to temporarily halt, it added.
However, Saudi Arabia said, “it intercepted what appeared like a drone over Abha airport,” adding that, its airport functions normally, according to Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television.
Iran-allied Yemeni rebels have recently stepped up missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia. Most of the attacks were intercepted by the kingdom’s air forces.– NNN-SABA
