Yemen�s Houthi rebels say conduct drone assault on Saudi air base

(MENAFN) On Sunday morning, Jun. 6 Yemen's Houthi rebels said they conducted a bomb-laden drone assault on the King Khalid Air Base in the Saudi Arabian southern city of Khamis Mushait. Houthi military spokesperson Yehya Sarea stated in a report aired by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV: "the hit was accurate." "The Saudi-led coalition intercepted and destroyed a bomb-laden drone that the Houthi militia launched early Sunday towards Khamis Mushait," said Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV. The Houthi assault occurred a day after an Omani high-level commission reached the capital Sanaa in the course of international diplomatic attempts to convince the Houthi group to accept a recent UN-proposed truce between the Yemeni fighting sides.
