There are several different drone types being used in that theater, including flying missiles, or a flying bomb if you will, to drones that can launch a wide variety of missiles similar to an airplane or helicopter. They have drones that drop hand grenades. All kinds of stuff.

This is just the stuff the Houti have. They also have anti tank missiles, ballistic missiles, anti ship missiles, etc. Theoretically, they could have carried out this attack. They do possess what they call their drone airforce, and it has been used to conduct raids on military bases well behind the lines. However, they have never carried out an attack with this degree of coordination before.

This is one type of Houti drone that carries six missiles that has been used in attacks on Saudi infrastructure, bases, airports, etc.

The Houti PR department claimed they did this attack using a newly modified version of their drones with greater capabilities.

They could be lying - but I doubt they would claim credit for the attack of anyone other than the Iranians or themselves launched it. While at the beginning of the Saudi Yemen war the Houti possessed almost no missile technology, they now possess all kinds of missiles technology, and it continues to improve at a rapid pace. I've no doubt the Iranians are directly helping their missile development.
