Yemen's Houthis renew warning against using Riyadh airport, Asia News
- On Sunday, Saudi Arabia partially reopened King Khalid International Airport, designating Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international carriers, despite wide-ranging Houthi strikes across the kingdom's south.
- The reopening follows a two-week closure after an attack earlier this month killed 13 people and wounded more than 300, the deadliest in the kingdom in over a decade.
- Throughout Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted at least 10 ballistic missiles while Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree warned the airport remains an 'unsafe' 'military target'.
- Residents in Riyadh received alert messages for a 'hostile aerial threat' early Sunday, while flight tracking data showed little traffic at the terminal despite the announcement.
- The flare-up follows the Houthis seizing the entire Red Sea coast last month, further destabilizing the region as Saudi Arabia stepped up military involvement against the group.
