Earlier this month, at least 26 people were injured when a Houthi missile fired from Yemen hit the same airport.
After the attack, the coalition vowed a firm response and said the attack proved Tehran鈥檚 support for cross-border terrorism.
The coalition said the injured in the first attack were all civilians of different nationalities and included two Saudi children and three women - a Saudi, a Yemeni and an Indian.
Human Rights Watch denounced the June 12 strike as an apparent 鈥渨ar crime鈥, urging the Houthis to immediately stop all attacks on civilian infrastructure in 海角直播.
The attacks come amid heightened regional tensions with Iran, which 海角直播 has聽accused of supplying sophisticated weapons to the Houthis. Tehran denies the charge.
