Ten people, including three Bangladeshis were injured in two explosives-laden drone attacks at King Abdullah airport in the southern Saudi city of Jizan late on Friday and early on Saturday, the Saudi-led coalition said.
Six Saudis, three Bangladeshi nationals and one Sudanese were injured in the first attack, Saudi state media said, citing a coalition spokesman. The injured were travellers and airport staff.
Some of the airport's facade windows were shattered in the attack, the spokesman said.
A second explosives-laden drone was intercepted early on Saturday, the coalition said, without giving details on any injuries or damages.
The military coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015, backing forces of the ousted government of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi and fighting the Iran-aligned Houthi group.
Air traffic in King Abdullah airport was normal, state TV said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility by the Houthis. The group regularly launches drone and missile attacks targeting the gulf kingdom.
However, the Iran-backed militia deployed a bomb-laden drone to attack the King Abudllah Airport in Jazan, adds Khaleej Times citing a Saudi Press Agency report.
"The terrorist Houthi militia is continuing its unethical practices through the attempt to target civilians and civilian objects. Targeting a civilian airport could amount to a war crime, due to the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian objects which are afforded special protection under the customary International Humanitarian Law," said Brigadier General Turki Al-Malki, an official spokesperson for coalition forces, in a statement.
