Houthi drone attack kills six

-

A bomb-laden drone launched by Yemen’s Shia rebels exploded over a military parade for the Saudi-led coalition, killing at least six people in a brazen attack threatenin­g an uneasy United Nations-brokered peace in the Arab world’s poorest nation. The attack at the Al-Anad Air Base showed the unwillingn­ess of Yemen’s Houthi rebels to halt fighting in the civil war. The Houthi attack near the southern port city of Aden with a new drone variant also raised more questions about Iran’s alleged role in arming the rebels with drone and ballistic missile technology, something long denied by Tehran.
