Dubái. Los rebeldes hutíes de Yemen lograron dotarse de un arsenal, formado por misiles, drones y otros equipamientos militares, que amenaza a la vecina Arabia Saudí, uno de los mayores compradores de armas en el mundo, estiman los expertos.

En junio, los rebeldes lanzaron 20 ataques contra el reino ultraconservador del golfo Pérsico. La defensa antiaérea saudí logró interceptar algunos misiles y drones, pero el aeropuerto internacional de Abha (sur) fue alcanzado, con un saldo de un civil muerto y otros 21 heridos.
