Houthis attack Abha airport in southern Saudi
killed one, wounded seven
targeted Abha, Jizan airports with drones Sunday
Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV said drone hit Abha airport
Earlier this month, missile hit same airport
located 200 km (125 miles) north of Yemen border
Houthis stepped up missile, drone attacks on Saudi in past month
My comments :
For the past few weeks the Houthis have been carrying out a psy war campaign inside Saudi Arabia via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc.
The Houthis have been advising Saudis to avoid going to airports, military sites and other places where they say their security is not guaranteed. The idea is to frighten Saudis that they are not safe inside their own country. That the Saudi government is incapable of guaranteeing the security of their people.
And the Houthis have been following up this psy war threat with deadly drone attacks against some airports like in Abha, Jizan and elsewhere. The Abha and Jizan airports have been hit repeatedly and there have been injuries and now there has been one casualty.
The Houthis (who have limited military resources in the first place) hope to paralyse Saudi Arabia at very low cost.

The Houthis are repeatedly demanding that Saudi Arabia stop bombing their country. This is a just request.
A few other things are also happening.
Firstly the Saudis depend almost entirely on foreign mercenaries to fight this war for them. To this end another batch of Sudanese mercenaries have just landed in Saudi Arabia - to be deployed at the Yemen frontglines. This means the Saudis have no wish to stop this aggression. This is a bad mistake.
Secondly on the 20th June 2019 in the UK the Court of Appeal has ruled that it is illegal for the UK to supply bombs and weapons to Saudi Arabia that are being used against the Houthis.
No. 3 over in the US, also on the same day, the US Senate has rejected arms sales to Saudi Arabia :
This means that it may become increasingly difficult for Saudi Arabia to conduct the bombing against Yemen. Especially if the 6,300 British airmen are pulled out from Saudi airbases where they prepare and refuel Saudi warplanes for bombing runs against Yemen.
This is also why Trump wants to open talks with Iran. Trump wants to put an end to a bad mistake the Saudis have made.
Sadly clarity is not a strong suit among Saudi Arabia the Great Iblis and Iran the Great Devil. Plus the Great Satan that still resides in the US.
I want your head, I want your missiles, I want your throne, I want your bomb, etc etc is not going to end well.
The Ayatollahs have no legitimacy. Neither do the Saudis. It is too complicated.
Then there is Israel. The Shiahs, the Salafis, the Persians, the Arabs.
Lets see. This will not be over anytime soon.
