At least 16 people injured after Houthi drone intercepted above Jizan airport

Saudi Arabia’s air defenses have intercepted a drone targeting King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Airport in the city of Jizan, the Arab Coalition said on Monday.

At least 16 people of different nationalities were injured as a result of the attack, the coalition said, adding that three of them were in critical condition.

“Preparations [are underway] for a large-scale military operation. The Houthis must bear the consequences of these practices targeting civilians.”

The Iran-backed Houthi militia “has resumed launching cross border attacks from the Sanaa International Airport,” it also said according to the state news agency (SPA).

“We will take firm measures in compliance with international law to protect civilians,” the coalition added.
