DUBAI (Reuters) - Yemen's Houthi movement attacked Saudi Arabia's Abha airport on Tuesday with an explosives-laden drone, the group's military spokesman said on Twitter.

Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-aligned group since 2015, said it had intercepted a drone fired by the Houthis towards the kingdom.
