Saudi-Led Coalition Says Houthis Attempted to Attack Dozens of Saudi Facilities
The coalition said Houthi attacks killed 17 people at King Khalid International Airport and damaged civilian infrastructure across Saudi Arabia.
- On Thursday, the Saudi-led coalition reported that Houthis attempted to attack dozens of Saudi airports, ports, and oil facilities, as fighting between the Iran-aligned group and Saudi Arabia intensified.
- Conflict has persisted since the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention; the UN-brokered truce in 2022 halted major fighting, but a de facto truce has since expired.
- Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki reported 20 attacks on King Khalid International Airport this month, killing 17 and wounding 333, while Abha airport attacks killed three and wounded 28, and the coalition destroyed 127 weapons facilities.
- Shortly after the coalition's statement, a Houthi military spokesperson warned that Saudi airspace and airports are unsafe, renewing a warning to airlines while excluding airspace over the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
- Maliki stated the Houthis acquired advanced military technology, including ballistic missiles and drones, with help from "regional actors," as efforts to reach a lasting political settlement have stalled amid escalating tensions.
