Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a second drone attack on Saudi Arabia's airport to retaliate against the Saudi-led coalition's "siege on the Yemeni people", a spokesperson for the group said on Tuesday, Al-Arabiya reports.
Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport was the target of the second such Houthi attack in less than 48 hours.
The attack was in response to "the continued escalation by the forces of aggression and their siege of the great Yemeni people," Yahya Saree, a military spokesman for Yemen's Houthi militia said in a tweet.
