(MENAFN) On Thursday, Apr. 22 Yemen's Houthi militants declared they struck a military position based in the King Khalid Airbase in the Saudi Arabian southwestern city of Khamis Mushait with a bomb-laden drone before dawn.
Houthi military spokesperson Yehya Sarea stated in a report aired by the rebel outfit's al-Masirah TV: "the attack was precise."
In the meantime, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV said in a report that the Saudi-led coalition forces halted a drone assault that the Houthi rebels conducted from Yemen to Khamis Mushait.
Cross-frontier missile and drone assaults by the Iran-supported Houthis have intensified since February when the outfit started a major attack against the Saudi-supported Yemeni administration army to seize the oil-rich province of Marib in central Yemen.
