Saudi strikes target Yemen comms station

Later on Monday, Houthi-run TV Al Masirah reported a coalition attack targeting the telecommunication ministry, destroying the TeleYemen telecoms company building and damaging a neighbouring building.

The coalition said the Iran-backed Houthis use ministry headquarters to "launch hostile operations," and as a response a site linked to the latest attack on Saudi Arabia's Abha international airport would be destroyed.

Twelve people were injured at the airport in a Houthi drone attack on Thursday.

Houthi forces have sent drones and fired missiles into Saudi Arabia during the seven-year conflict, and recently fired missiles at the United Arab Emirates capital. The Saudi-led coalition has retaliated with air strikes inside Yemen.

The coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015 after the Houthis ousted the internationally recognised government.
