Several wounded in a drone attack on Saudi airport: Coalition

Saudi-led coalition says a second attack on Abha international airport prevented and a drone shot down.

A drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s Abha airport has wounded eight people, said the Saudi-led coalition battling Houthi rebels in neighbouring Yemen. Following an earlier reported attack, “a second drone attempting to attack Abha International Airport was intercepted and shot down,” on Tuesday the coalition said in a statement carried by the kingdom’s official Al-Ekhbariya television channel. “Eight people were wounded and a civilian aircraft was damaged, according to initial information,” it added.
