SANAA, Sept 08 (Xinhua): Yemen's Houthi militia said it launched a drone attack toward a Saudi border airport on Tuesday morning, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.
The attack on Abha International Airport came in response to "the Saudi-led coalition's airstrikes," the television said, citing a statement by the Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea.
Meanwhile, the Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television reported that the coalition intercepted and destroyed a bomb-laden drone launched by the Houthi militia toward the south of Saudi Arabia.
It was the second such attack by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia in less than a week. The Sunday's drone attack was intercepted and destroyed inside the northern Yemeni border, according to a coalition statement.
The airport under attack is located in Abha, capital city of Asir Province in the southwest of Saudi Arabia.
