Yemen's Houthis claim strike on Saudi-run military camp in Aden
The group said the strike was retaliation for Saudi attacks that killed 17 people, while authorities reported damage near the airport.
On Saturday, Iran-allied Houthis launched missile and drone attacks against Saudi oil facilities and airports, while the Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting two missiles as clashes intensified.
The renewed fighting shattered a 2022 UN-brokered truce that largely halted cross-border attacks, shifting the focus of the wider US-Iran war that erupted in February.
Houthi-Linked Al-Masirah TV channel claimed Saudi strikes killed 17 people, while Saudi Civil Defense broadcast warnings of "potential danger" for four western regions including Mecca and Yanbu.
Riyadh international airport announced it would resume flights "effective Sunday" after closure, while the US Mission updated travel advisories citing increased potential armed attacks by Iranian-supported Houthis.
This dramatic escalation follows the Houthis' seizure of the Red Sea coast last month, disrupting oil markets and prompting Britain, France, and Egypt to offer defensive forces to the Gulf kingdom.
We blew up the riad on Sunday morning, after the authorities issued alerts, while the Houthi rebels in Yemen continue their attacks on the kingdom, where the international airport of the capital was to reopen after two weeks of closure, AFP reports.
Almost daily, the Huthi militia is attacking Saudi Arabia. 13 people were killed in an attack on the international airport of Riyadh on October 10. There a machine starts again in the morning - but the next warning won't be long.
