Houthis Renew Warning Against Use of Riyadh Airport Amid Resumption of Flights
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have renewed their warning against using Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, labeling it a "military target" and stating that attacks will continue. This follows the airport's announcement to resume flights by designating Terminal 1 for domestic and Terminal 2 for international flights after a suspension caused by a Houthi-claimed attack on October 10 that killed 13 and injured over 300. The Houthis have targeted Saudi airports, ports, and oil facilities amid ongoing conflict, while Saudi Arabia has intensified military actions in Yemen.
