Three killed, 36 injured in Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, Riyadh says
Saudi aviation authorities said the attacks disrupted flights and prompted safety checks after missiles and drones struck two international airports.
- 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.
