Riyadh airport hit by fresh Houthi strike day after deadly attack
The fresh attack on the airport killed one person — a Pakistani resident — and wounded 11 others, Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority said on X.
Riyadh airport was struck by a fresh Houthi attack on Sunday, resulting in the death of one individual and injury to 11 others, just a day after another deadly assault carried out by the Yemeni group. This marked the most lethal assault on Saudi soil in over a decade, escalating tensions in the ongoing Yemeni conflict. The Saudi-led coalition, which backs the internationally recognized government against the Houthis, sustained a significant blow with the attack.
The Iran-backed group claimed multiple strikes in the past 24 hours, targeting the airport and threatening further attacks on the kingdom's transportation hubs, referring to them as "a theater of operations for our forces".
