Houthis report attack on Saudi airport

The Houthi militia in Yemen, supported by Iran, has claimed responsibility for an attack on Saudi Arabia’s Najran Airport using a drone. Military spokesperson Jahja Sari confirmed the strike targeted the airport’s main radar system, though this has not yet been independently verified. The Huthis stated their actions were in response to alleged violations of airspace in the provinces of Saada and Hajjah by Saudi Arabian drones. They warned that further airspace breaches would not go unanswered. Tensions between the Houthi group and Saudi Arabia have recently escalated, with Saudi Arabia leading military operations against the group alongside the internationally recognized Yemeni government since over a decade.
