2019 missile strikes carried out by the Houthi movement
In June 2019, Yemeni Houthi rebels carried out a series of cruise missile strikes targetting the arrivals hall of Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia, killing one civilian and injuring 47 others. The Saudi-led coalition stated that an Iranian made Ya Ali cruise missile had been used in the attack, 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. The first attack occurred on 19 June and wounded 26. The second attack, a drone strike, occurred on June 23, killing a Syrian national and wounding 21 and yet another two days later on June 25.
