Yemen's Houthi movement launched fresh drone attacks targeting Jizan and Abha airports, in southern Saudi Arabia, the group's Al-Masirah TV said on Saturday, adding the installations were out of service.
Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV said Saudi forces had intercepted a ballistic missile targeting the southwestern city of Abha.
The revolutionary group said multiple drone strike targeted control rooms at Jizan airport and fuel station at Abha airport.
"The two airports are now out of service. We promise the Saudi regime with more painful days as long as the aggression and siege continue on our country," the group's armed forces spokesman said in a tweet published by Al-Masirah TV's account.
The Houthis have launched several strikes targeting Abha regional airport since Wednesday, when a missile attack against the same airport had wounded 26 people.
The Saudi-led coalition, which has been launching a military campaign since 2015 to forcefully restore the resigned regime of former President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, said earlier this week it intercepted five drones that targeted Abha airport and Khamis Mushait in the same region.
The Houthis have stepped up missile and drone attacks against Saudi cities in recent months. Last month, the group carried out drone strikes on two Saudi oil pumping stations.
