SANAA, Yemen, July 29 (NNN-SABA) – Yemen’s Houthis said, they launched a fresh attack towards Abha airport, in the south-west of Saudi Arabia on Sunday night, using bomb-laden drones, the group’s al-Masirah TV reported.
The attack hit vital facilities at the airport and caused a suspension of air traffic, it said, citing a statement by the group’s military spokesman.
There has been no confirmation from Saudi Arabia yet, on the alleged attack.
Houthis have recently stepped up drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, but most of the drones were intercepted by the kingdom’s air forces.
Saudi Arabia has been leading an Arab military coalition against Iran-allied Houthis in Yemen for more than four years, in support of the exiled internationally-recognised government of Yemeni President, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.– NNN-SABA
