Saudi Arabia: 10 people injured in foiled Houthi drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s Jazan airport

RIYADH, 09 October 2021, (TON): The Arab Coalition supporting Yemen’s legitimate government said “ten people were injured during a drone attack by Iran-backed Houthi militia on the King Abdulaziz Airport in Jazan.”

Coalition spokesman Brig. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki was quoted by state media as saying two armed drones launched from Yemen were shot down from the sky by Saudi air defenses.

The coalition said “falling debris from the destroyed unmanned aerial vehicles caused minor injuries on passengers and airport personnel.”

Among the injured were six Saudi passengers and airport employees, three Bangladeshi workers and a Sudanese worker.

The coalition also intercepted a ballistic missile and two bomb-laden drones launched by the Houthis toward Khamis Mushayt city in nearby Asir region.

Four people were also slightly injured after a Houthi drone was intercepted at Abha International Airport, also in Asir.
