SANAA, Yemen (AA) – Yemen's Houthi rebels on Monday claimed a fresh drone attack on the Abha airport in southern Saudi Arabia.

In a statement, rebel spokesman Yahya Sarei said the overnight attack targeted "important sites" at the airport.

He claimed that the attack had caused to disrupt air aviation at the airport.

There was no comment from Riyadh or the Saudi-led coalition on the rebel claim.

In recent months, Houthi rebels have claimed several drone attacks on Saudi airports near the country’s border with Yemen.

Yemen has been beset by violence and chaos since 2014, when the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including the capital, Sanaa.

The crisis escalated in 2015 when Saudi Arabia and several Arab allies launched a devastating air campaign aimed at rolling back Houthi territorial gains.

According to UN figures, Yemen is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with more than 10 million people driven to the brink of famine.
