Three killed, 36 injured in Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, Riyadh says
- On Tuesday and Wednesday, Houthi attacks on Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport killed three civilians and injured 36, the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation reported.
- Fighting between Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces intensified after the civil war re-erupted in July, prompting a counteroffensive to recapture strategic territory along the Red Sea.
- Separately, the Houthis targeted Aden International Airport with ballistic missiles and drones on Wednesday, forcing authorities to divert a Cairo flight as a missile landed near the runway.
- A Saudi-led coalition vowed retaliation, stating the attacks "will not go unpunished," and subsequently struck more than 80 Houthi military sites across Saada, Hodeidah, Jawf, and Marib.
- The conflict has displaced more than 200,000 people, with IOM Director General Amy Pope warning that many are "running for their lives and finding nowhere safe to go.
