A drone launched from Yemen struck the passenger terminal at Israel’s Ramon Airport in the Negev, the Israeli army reported on Sunday.

In a statement, the Israeli army acknowledged that no sirens were triggered during the strike, announcing an investigation into the failure to detect the drone.

Israeli media confirmed that firefighting and rescue teams were dispatched, while the Airport Authority briefly halted takeoffs and landings to inspect the runways.

Eight people were injured by shrapnel in the attack, according toIsrael's national emergency service (Megan David Adom-MDA).

The Houthis later confirmed the operation, with Military Spokesperson Yahya Saree saying eight drones targeted locations including Negev, Eilat, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Jaffa.

Saree claimed one drone hit Ramon Airport and halted air traffic, while others struck two military targets in Negev, “vital facilities” in Ashkelon and Ashdod, and the Ben-Gurion Airport.
