Yemeni rebels attack Saudi airport

Saudi Arabia says one person has been killed and seven others wounded in an attack by Yemeni rebels on an airport in the kingdom’s south.

The spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition at war in Yemen against the rebel Houthis was quoted in the state-run Saudi Press Agency as saying the airport in Abha was struck shortly after 9 p.m. local time on Sunday.

According to the Houthi-run Almasirah TV, the movement targeted Abha and Jizan airports in southern Saudi Arabia with drone attacks on Sunday.

“A terrorist attack by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia took place at Abha international airport … A Syrian national died and seven civilians were wounded,” the coalition said in a statement issued by the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
