The Houthi rebel movement in Yemen, Ansar Allah, carried out attacks on the airport in the Saudi capital and on the oil infrastructures near the city of Yanbu, army spokesman Yahya Sari said.
"Our armed forces managed to attack the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with three cruise missiles," the Al Masira TV channel quoted the spokesman as saying. Sari added that the rebels also carried out a UAV attack on pumping station No. 11 in the Yanbu area.
"Saudi Arabia's claims about the interception of a drone in Mecca's airspace are another lie," added the movement's spokesman, emphasizing that the Houthis' actions are directed solely against the oil facilities and the military kingdom.
