JERUSALEM: A drone launched from Yemen injured a man when it fell on Ramon airport in southern Israel on Sunday, Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service said.
“Paramedics are providing medical treatment... to a 63-year-old male in mild condition, fully conscious, with shrapnel injuries to his limbs,” the service said in a statement.
A spokesperson for Israel’s airports authority said the drone “hit the arrivals hall” and that operations at Ramon airport had been halted.
The Israeli military said the drone was the fourth launched from Yemen within minutes of each other on Sunday.
In an earlier statement, it reported intercepting three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) en route from Yemen, two of them before they crossed into Israeli airspace. It did not specify what happened to the third.
