国际英语资讯:Yemen Houthis claim launch of fresh bomb-laden drone attack on Saudi Jizan airport

SANAA, June 29 -- Yemen's Houthi rebels said they attacked Jizan airport in southern Saudi Arabia on Saturday night, using bomb-laden drones, the group's al-Masirah TV reported.

"The attack hit aircraft hangars and caused halt in air traffic," the television said, citing a statement from the group's military spokesman Yahya Sarea.

There were no confirmations from Saudi Arabia on the alleged attack.

The rebels have recently stepped up missile and drone attacks on Saudi regional airports.

According to Saudi state news agency, a Houthi drone attack on Abha airport last week killed a Syrian expatriate and wounded eight others, while another Houthi missile attack two weeks ago on the same airport injured 26 civilians.

Saudi Arabia has been leading a coalition to fight in Yemen for more than four years in support of the exiled Yemeni government against the Iran-allied Houthis.
