Eight wounded in Houthi drone strikes on Saudi Abha airport

At least eight people were wounded on Monday in Houthi drone strikes on Saudi Arabia's Abha airport that also damaged a civilian airplane, Saudi officials said. Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi group in Yemen said it intercepted a Houthi drone that was targeting Abha International Airport. Shrapnel was scattered in the vicinity of the airport, the coalition said. State TV Ekhbaria said a second armed drone was intercepted, but debris wounded eight people and damaged a civilian airplane inside the airport. General manager of the airport Ahmed al-Qahtani said one person was in a critical condition and all the wounded were treated in the local hospital. "Tha airport hasn't cancelled any flight. We suspended the flights for security measures for several minutes or about half an hour," Qahatani said.<br/>
