Houthis Issue New Threat to Saudi Airspace After Deadly Airport Attack
The group said Saudi airports and airspace remain targets after the attack killed 12 people and wounded hundreds, prompting closures and embassy warnings.
- On Sunday, the Houthis renewed their warnings to travellers against using Saudi Arabia's airports, claiming the kingdom 'bore responsibility for failed interceptions' following Saturday's deadly strike.
- Saturday's strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed 12 people and wounded 309, marking the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in more than a decade.
- One passenger witnessed a strike at gate 403, saying 'I saw 401 hit, I saw injured in front of my eyes.' Western embassies advised staff to avoid airports 'over the next week'.
- President Donald Trump condemned the strike as 'not acceptable' and said he was considering joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis, while European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen called it a 'dangerous escalation'.
- The Saudi-led coalition vowed to respond, and on Sunday Houthi media reported that Saudi strikes had targeted the Sanaa governorate in Yemen, controlled by the Houthis.
