Two Saudi airports targeted on Monday as fighting with Yemen's Houthis escalates
The Saudi aviation authority said it is assessing damage and protecting passengers and staff after the attacks disrupted civil aviation.
- King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Jazan and Najran International Airport were targeted in two separate drone and missile attacks on Monday evening, injuring three people and causing minor material damage.
- The strikes coincide with a major ground offensive launched by Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces aimed at retaking territory from Houthi rebels, prompting intensified Saudi coalition airstrikes across Yemen.
- Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed broader responsibility for a series of coordinated operations, asserting the group also launched strikes against King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and an Aramco facility in Rabigh.
- Houthi authorities issued a formal warning advising commercial airlines that Saudi Arabian airspace—excluding pilgrimage sites in Mecca and Medina—is no longer safe and will serve as an active military operational zone.
- Saudi civil aviation authorities confirmed safety protocols and damage assessments are underway at regional facilities, while international aviation regulators have re-issued conflict zone safety advisories across the region.
