Saudi forces destroy Houthi drone targeting airport in Jizan
|
[Aljazeera] Sixteen people, including foreign nationals, were injured in Saudi Arabia when a drone launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeting an airport in the kingdom was destroyed.
A coalition statement, cited by the Saudi state news agency SPA on Monday, said the drone was launched towards King Abdullah Airport in the southwestern Jizan province.
According to the statement, victims suffered injuries from shrapnel during the drone interception.
The coalition said the drone was fired "from Sanaa International Airport to target civilians".
"Sixteen civilians of different nationalities were injured," it said.
Saudi state TV reported three travellers were in critical condition.
It aired a short video clip of the aftermath that showed glass shattered across the floor inside the airport.
The state-run Ekhbariya news channel later showed travellers moving about within Jizan’s airport and reported that flights were back to operating normally.
