For the second time in the last 48 hours, the Houthis attacked Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia’s southern region.

A spokesman for the Yemeni group, Brig. Gen. Yahya Sari, said that two Qasef-2K suicide unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) struck the airports’ control tower and fuel station in the early hours of August 10.

“These operations came as a response to the crimes of the aggression and its continues airstrikes and siege [on Houthi-held areas],” the spokesman said.

The Saudi-led coalition didn’t comment on the Houthis’ claims. However, observers confirmed that the attacks placed Abha airport out of service for a short period.

Don’t forget the Houthi aggression against the Saudis in the mid to late 2000s.

You don’t make sense, why would the Houthis commit to acts of aggression against a vastly superior neighbour. I think you acceding to the MSM meme.

Not only did they always clash with the Saudis, the Houthies captured the Saudi Al Khubah village in 2009 and was later freed. Do your research.

There is isis(rael) in Yemen? Houthi have a lot of work to do… ?
