That comes after the coalition intercepted and destroyed an explosives-laden drone introduced through the Houthis in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday and the drone introduced to the kingdom on Sunday.
According to a Reuters report, a Houthi army spokesman said Sunday that the defense force had launched a drone strike at Saudi Abha International Airport. These are “army sites and sensitive targets” that were accurately achieved, spokesman Yahya Sarea said.
Cross-border attacks through Iran-aligned Houthi forces have intensified since last May, when a truce caused by the coronavirus pandemic expired. Last June, the missiles reached the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
