Saudi TV: Drone attack on 8 airport wounds, damage to the plane

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Bomb-Laden drone on Tuesday targets airports in Southwest Saudi Arabia, injuring eight people and damages civilian aircraft, Saudi television reported, the latest attack on the kingdom in the middle of Yemeni countries.
There was no claim directly responsibility for the attack, the second attack at Abha Airport in the last 24 hours.
Previous attacks, blamed at Houthi Shiite rebels supported by Iran Iran, spread bullets across the runway but did not cause casualties.
The Saudi-led military coalition that fought Houthi in Yemen did not describe the attack or gave details about those who were injured, outside saying that his troops had “intercepted” drone exploding.
The attack came just a few days after the missile and drone crashed into the main military base in South Yemen, killing at least 30 Yemeni troops supported by Saudi and marked one of the deadliest attacks in this year’s civil war.
No one claims responsibility for strikes, which makes the characteristics of the Iran-supported rebels.
Since 2015, Houthi Yemeni rebels struggling against the Saudi military coalition targeted international airports, along with military installations and critical oil infrastructure, in Saudi Arabia.
These attacks, often striking nearby cities Abha and Jizan, rarely caused substantial damage but injured dozens, killing at least one person and raving the global oil market.
In Yemen, the Saudi LED bombing campaign has attracted international criticism to kill civilians, hitting non-military targets such as hospitals and destructive weddings and infrastructure in the poorest countries in the Arab world.
Yemen’s war has settled into a bloody deadlock even as an international diplomatic effort to stop the battle increasing.
Houthis has accelerated their encouragement to control the government fortress rich in Marib oil in recent months, and increased their cross-border attacks on the kingdom.
The Yemen war began in 2014, when the rebels seized the capital, Sanaa, and most of the northern countries.
The Saudi-led military coalition intervened in months later to expel Houthi and restore internationally recognized governments.
The war has killed around 130,000 people and raises the worst humanitarian disaster in the world.
