Houthi targeting of Mecca and Madinah a grave escalation, says military analyst
Military analyst Sultan Al-Otaibi warns that Houthi attacks on Mecca and Madinah represent a serious security and military escalation with religious and humanitarian implications.
Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport is set to restart domestic and international flights on Sunday, October 25, following a series of Houthi missile and drone attacks. The airport announced new terminal arrangements on Saturday, designating Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international flights operated by national carriers.
Airport officials urged passengers with confirmed reservations to confirm their booking status and flight schedules with their airlines before traveling. The operational update comes after Riyadh and other parts of Saudi Arabia were hit by Houthi attacks, including strikes on King Khalid International Airport. Saudi authorities have consistently reported the interception and destruction of Houthi projectiles, with Civil Defense teams responding to debris incidents.
