The reports come less than 24 hours after the Houthis said they launched a drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport and King Khalid Air Base.

The Saudi-led coalition has foiled a Houthi drone attack launched towards Abha Airport, Al Arabiya TV reported on Saturday, citing the coalition's spokesperson.

Houthi supporters hold their weapons during a demonstration outside the U.S. embassy against the United States over its decision to designate the Houthis a foreign terrorist organisation, in Sanaa, Yemen January 18, 2021 - Sputnik International, 1920, 10.02.2021

Saudi-Led Coalition Destroys Explosive-Laden Drone Launched by Yemen's Houthis

10 February 2021, 22:03 GMT

On Friday, Yemen's Houthis claimed their Air Force launched a drone attack on Abha International Airport and the King Khalid Air Base.

Yemen's Houthi movement has been engulfed in an armed conflict with Saudi-aided government forces since 2015. The movement has repeatedly launched attacks against Saudi Arabia, with the Abha International Airport being a frequent target.

The latest attack comes as the United States intends to lift its designation of Yemen’s Houthis as a terrorist organisation.
