Riyadh Airport Reopens Terminals Amid Renewed Houthi Threats and Warnings
Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resumed limited operations on October 25, designating Terminal 1 for domestic and Terminal 2 for international flights by national carriers after a two-week closure. The suspension followed a deadly Houthi attack on October 10 that killed 13 and injured over 300. The Iran-backed Houthis reiterated that the airport remains a "military target," warning airlines, staff, and travelers against using it amid ongoing missile and drone strikes targeting Saudi infrastructure.
