Coalition denies claims attacks caused suspension of air traffic.
The Saudi-led coalition at war in Yemen said Saturday its forces intercepted drones fired by Yemen’s pro-Iran Al Houthi militia at the kingdom.
The statement by the Saudi-led coalition said the drones had been launched by Al Houthis from Sana’a, but did not say where the drones had been intercepted.
The coalition denied Al Houthi claims that the attacks resulted in the suspension of air traffic at two Saudi airports near the country’s southern border with Yemen.
Al Houthis’ Al Masirah satellite news channel had said the militia attacked Saudi airports in Abha and Jizan with Qasef-2K drones.
Al Houthis have increasingly used drones to target southern Saudi Arabia, including two recent strikes on Abha airport, which have killed one person and wounded more than 30.AFP
