Yemen's Houthis claim attack on Saudi Arabia's Najran airport

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Yemen's Houthi group said it struck a "sensitive target" at Najran airport in southern Saudi Arabia. The group has pledged in recent weeks to expand attacks on Saudi airports and critical facilities, citing what it described as the latest military developments in Yemen. Tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia were already climbing before the announcement, with sources linked to the group saying additional targets would be pursued. Saudi authorities had not issued a confirmed official statement on the attack at the time of the Houthi claim. The Houthis have previously announced operations against airports and energy facilities on Saudi territory. Riyadh has largely denied those claims. No further details were immediately available.
