Arab Saudi lanjut gantung operasi lapangan terbang Riyadh

On Monday, Saudi Arabia announced the resumption of operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh following a series of attacks involving the Houthis. Anadolu Agency reported that 13 people were killed and 309 injured in the assaults. The Saudi Ministry of Civil Aviation stated that the resumption of operations aims to complete the necessary procedures to ensure airport safety and readiness.

However, the authority did not specify when the airport operations would resume. The decision was made after several attacks on the airport on the weekend. On Sunday evening, an unidentified projectile hit Terminal 4 of the airport, killing one Pakistani national and injuring 11 others, according to Saudi authorities. Saudi-led coalition also announced the destruction of a cruise missile near the airport.

The previous day, on Saturday, a Houthi attack on the passenger terminal resulted in 13 deaths and 309 injuries, as per Saudi authorities. Saudi-led coalition accused the Houthis of launching the attack on Saturday and labelled it a full war crime. The attacks occurred as tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen escalated, with the airport and civilian infrastructure becoming frequent targets of assaults over recent days.
