26 civilians have been injured in a missile attack by Yemen’s rebel Houthi movement on Abha Airport, a regional airport in south-west Saudi Arabia.

Three women and two children were among those hurt. The Houthis said they fired the cruise missile. Though there were no fatalities, it is the largest number of civilians to be wounded in Saudi Arabia as a result of a rebel attack.
