Yemen�s Houthi militants conduct bomb-laden drone assault toward Saudi frontier air base

(MENAFN) On Sunday, May. 2 Yemen's Houthi militants struck the King Khalid Air Base in Saudi Arabia's southwestern frontier city of Khamis Mushait with a bomb-laden drone ahead of dawn, said the rebel outfit. Houthi spokesperson Yehya Sarea stated in a report aired by the outfit�s al-Masirah TV: "the hit was accurate." The Saudi-led coalition forces halted and demolished an armed drone that the Houthis fired in the direction of Khamis Mushait, reported Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV. Cross-frontier missile and drone assault by the Iran-supported Houthis have intensified since February when the outfit started a major attack against the coalition-supported Yemeni administration army to seize the oil-rich province of Marib in central Yemen.
