The Abha International Airport attacks were cruise missile attacks carried out by the Yemeni Houthi rebels which occurred in June 2019.[1] The attack targeted the arrivals hall of Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia and killed one civilian and injured 47 others.[2][3]
The Saudi-led coalition stated that an Iranian made Ya Ali cruise missile had been used in the attack,[1] but Jane's Defence Weekly later reported that a Yemeni made Quds cruise missile may have been used because of its similarity to the fins recovered from the debris.[4]
The first attack occurred on 19 June and wounded 26.[2][3]
The second attack, a drone strike, occurred on June 23, killing a Syrian national and wounding 21[5] and yet another two days later on June 25.[6]
