Yemen's Houthi rebels launched missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia's Abha Airport after air strikes hit Sanaa Airport. The Houthis blamed Saudi Arabia for the attack, while Yemen's government said it targeted the runway to stop an Iranian plane from landing. Saudi officials said their air defences intercepted the missiles and no one was hurt. The incident is the biggest rise in tensions since an informal truce began four years ago. The United Nations urged all sides to avoid more violence and return to talks. Iran condemned the strike on Sanaa Airport, calling it a violation of international law. (PC: Reuters)
