Riyadh (Agencies): A Syrian national was killed and seven others were wounded in a Yemeni rebel attack on a civilian airport in southern Saudi Arabia, a Riyadh-led coalition said.
“A terrorist attack by the Iranian-backed Huthi militia took place at Abha international airport, through which thousands of civilian passengers … pass daily,” the military coalition said.
“A Syrian national died and seven civilians were wounded,” it added, in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
The coalition did not provide details on how the airport was attacked, but Iran-aligned Huthi rebels have repeatedly struck the civilian facility this month with drones and missiles.
