  "summary": "Yemen's Houthi rebels claim they carried out a drone strike on a \"sensitive target\" at Najran Airport in southern Saudi Arabia. According to the Houthis, the attack was in response to Saudi drone incursions into Yemeni airspace over Saada and Hajjah governorates.\n\nThe Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said the attack achieved a \"precise strike\". The group also warned that any violation of their airspace would not go unanswered and unpunished.\n\nThere is no immediate confirmation from Saudi officials on the strike. The incident is part of an ongoing conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, with both sides exchanging attacks in recent weeks, including a missile attack on Saudi Arabia on July 13 and a claimed Houthi strike on Saudi Aramco's oil facilities on July 25.",
