The attack struck troops loyal to the airport’s chief of security, who had refused to accept a government order that he be replaced.

The incident was yet another sign of the inability of Yemen’s internationally recognized government to enforce order. But it was the first time its allies, the coalition of mostly Gulf Arab states, had intervened militarily in power struggles within the Yemeni armed forces.

The Saudi-led coalition has launched thousands of air strikes against the government’s foes, the Iran-allied Houthis, in a campaign to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power. It helped wrest Aden from the Houthis, who control the capital, Sanaa, in the summer of 2015.

A coalition spokesman did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the incident.

Government mediators were attempting to resolve the dispute through talks, the security officials added. </s> Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen announced on Tuesday that Houthi militia attacked the Abha International Airport in the southern province of Saudi Arabia, injuring nine civilians

RIYADH, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - APP - 2nd Jul, 2019 ) :Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen announced on Tuesday that Houthi militia attacked the Abha International Airport in the southern province of Saudi Arabia , injuring nine civilians.

According to a statement by the coalition spokesperson, Col. Turki Al Maliki, eight of the victims are Saudis, while the ninth is Indian. He revealed that all injuries are initially stable and were all transferred to hospitals.

The airport has been targeted by Houthis several times.

In one attack last month, a Syria was killed, and seven other civilians injured.

Al-Maliki said that the Houthi militia continue their immoral practices by targeting civilians and civilian objects protected under international humanitarian law and its customary rules.

He stressed that in the face of these acts of "terrorism and the immoral violations" by the Houthi militia, the command of the coalition forces continues to carry out strict measures to deter the militia in order to protect the civilian and civilian assets. </s> DUBAI: A Saudi Black Hawk helicopter crashed during military operations in Yemen on Tuesday, killing 12 officers, Saudi news agency SPA reported.

It quoted a military statement as saying the plane came down in Marib province, east of the capital Sanaa.

"As a result, four officers and eight non-commissioned officers from the Saudi armed forces were martyred," SPA said.

It gave no details on the cause of the crash, saying it was under investigation.

The death toll was one of the largest in a single incident involving Saudi forces since a coalition of Arab states began military operations against the armed Houthi movement in 2015 to try to restore Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power.

A ballistic missile fired by the Houthis towards a coalition military base in Marib in 2015 killed more than 60 troops from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

The Saudi-led coalition has recently made some gains against the Houthis in western Yemen, but fighting on other fronts, including Marib, has been static, with little ground changing hands.

The Houthis seized much of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, in a series of military operations that began in 2014, eventually forcing Hadi to flee.

The Saudi-led coalition accuses Iran of trying to use the Houthis to expand its influence in Yemen, one of the poorest Arab countries. The Houthis regard their move on Sanaa as a revolution against corruption.
