Yemen's Houthis say they targeted Saudi airport, warn airlines against Saudi airspace

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday (July 13) they had carried out a military operation targeting Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport with ballistic missiles and drones in response to what they described as Saudi airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport.

In a televised statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea warned all airlines against flying over Saudi airspace, urging them to take the warning seriously until what he described as the blockade on Sanaa International Airport is lifted.
