Houthis claim drone strike on Saudi Arabia's Najran Airport

Yemen's Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for a drone strike targeting what it described as a "sensitive target" at Najran Airport in southern Saudi Arabia.

The announcement was made by Yahya Saree, Yemeni military spokesperson aligned with the Houthis, who said the operation was carried out in retaliation for what the group alleged were repeated violations of Yemeni airspace by Saudi drones.

According to Saree, the airspace incursions took place over the Yemeni provinces of Saada and Hodeidah.

تمكنت القوات المسلحة اليمنية بفضل الله من استهداف هدف حساس للعدو السعودي في مطار نجران وذلك بطائرة مسيرة وكانت الإصابةدقيقة.
يأتي هذا الاستهداف رداً على خرق العدو السعودي للأجواء في محافظتي صعدة وحجة بطيرانه المسير.
نؤكد للعدو السعودي أن أي خرق لأجوائنا لن يمر دون رد وعقاب.
