Yemen's Houthis attack Saudi Abha airport with drones

Yemen's Houthi rebels said they attacked the international Abha airport in the southwest of Saudi Arabia on Thursday night, using bomb-laden drones, the group's al-Masirah TV reported.
The attack targeted "military facilities in the airport," the television said, citing a statement by a Houthi military spokesman.
There has been no confirmation from Saudi Arabia yet on the attack.
If confirmed, it would be the second attempted attack in fewer than 24 hours against Saudi Arabia after the kingdom's air defences intercepted and destroyed a drone launched earlier on the day by Houthis toward King Khaled Air Base in the southwest of Saudi border city of Khamis Mushait.
Houthi rebels 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-recognized government of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
