Houthis Attack Saudi Arabian International Airport, Kill 3
Saudia said one aircraft was damaged on the ground as hundreds of flights were canceled and airport operations later returned to normal.
- On Thursday, a Houthi-claimed ballistic missile attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed one Saudi airline employee and damaged a parked Saudia aircraft that caught fire.
- The attack followed a major military offensive launched last weekend by the Saudi-led coalition against Iran-backed Houthi rebels; years of fighting in this proxy war has killed more than 150,000 people since 2015.
- Several people of different nationalities were wounded in the strikes, with injuries that "ranged from minor to serious," and major carriers including Air India and Lufthansa suspended operations to Riyadh.
- While the Saudia Group announced operational activities at the airport have returned to normal, the Houthis recently warned global airlines "for the last time" about potential consequences of operating in Saudi airspace.
- Houthi rebels have seized Yemen's Red Sea coastline and the strategic strait of Bab al-Mandeb, threatening to destabilize global trade as the kingdom seeks continued support from the United States.
