Houthi drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Abha Airport leaves five injured: Al-Arabiya
CAIRO (Reuters) - A drone attack by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement on Abha Airport in Saudi Arabia early on Tuesday has left five people injured, Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya reported.
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen confirmed the attack and said it had occurred at 12:35 a.m. local time, but provided no further details and did not mention any injuries.
The Houthis, who are fighting in neighboring Yemen, have recently stepped up attacks against targets in Saudi Arabia, which is leading a coalition battling them.
A spokesman for the Houthis said the group had carried out a “large operation” targeting the airport, according to the group’s Al-Masirah TV.
