DUBAI: Operations at Saudi Arabia’s Abha Airport have returned to normal after a third Houthi attack on Tuesday, news channel Al-Arabiya has reported. Nine people were injured when the drone hit the facility at 00:35 local time, the reporter added. The eight injured Saudis and one Indian were taken to a number of hospitals, Saudi state news agency SPA reported. Their conditions were described as stable, although the severity of the injuries is unknown. Arab Coalition spokesman Col. Turki Al-Maliki said the fight against Houthis would continue, as they repeatedly violated international law by targeting civilians and civilian structures. The militants claimed the attack through their own media, the spokesman added. Tuesday’s attack is the third targeting the airport in the last four weeks, with the previous two taking place on June 23 and 12. One person was killed in the second attack, and overall there have been 56 people injured.
