Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries launched a retaliatory attack against Jizan airport in southern Saudi Arabia on Saturday night, using bomb-laden drones, the group's al-Masirah TV reported.
"The attack hit aircraft hangars and caused halt in air traffic," the television said, citing a statement from the movement's military spokesman Yahya Sarea.
The Ansarullah have recently stepped up missile and drone attacks on Saudi regional airports.
According to Saudi state news agency, a Houthi drone attack on Abha airport last week killed a Syrian expatriate and wounded eight others, while another Houthi missile attack two weeks ago on the same airport injured 26 civilians.
Saudi Arabia has been leading a coalition to fight in Yemen for more than four years to forcefully reinstate the resigned regime of former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
