Houthi militants attack Saudi airport and set fire to passenger plane

10.02.2021

Militants attacked the Saudi airport and set fire to a passenger plane, according to news reports. The militants reportedly carried out drone strikes in the morning and set fire to the passenger plane in the afternoon.

Yemen's Houthi militants have carried out a series of attacks on the Awa International Airport in southern Saudi Arabia. However, it is learned that no damage was caused to the airport as a result of this attack.

There, the Saudi-led coalition successfully repulsed every attack. It said in a statement that all necessary steps had been taken to protect the country's citizens from attacks by Houthi militants.

News of the attack on South Ava Airport in Saudi Arabia came from a Saudi state channel. There, they said, they did not elaborate on how the attack actually took place. Only they reported that a passenger plane caught fire this afternoon and that Houthi militants were behind it.

Earlier in the day, Houthi militants tried to launch an attack in southern Saudi Arabia with two armed drones. A local TV channel said in a statement that the Houthis had tried to harm government property and civilians, but that their mission had not been successful.

Houthi militants have been reportedly based in northern Yemen for some time. This is not the first time that Houthi militants have attacked Saudi cities with armed drones.

As a result, the Saudi-led coalition is working to control them. Experts claim that Iran's diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia could be a factor behind such attacks.
