Houthis attack Riyadh airport, killing three

The Houthi group launched a deadly attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, killing three Saudi nationals, including a pilot, and injuring dozens of people. The attack resulted in injuries to a number of Saudi citizens and residents of various nationalities. One of the pilots was among those killed.

Air traffic had returned to normal after the attack. The Houthi group targeted an airport in Riyadh and the attack is part of an escalation in fighting between the Iran-backed group and Saudi Arabia, which backs Yemen's government, with airports appearing to be the primary target. The Saudi-led coalition has responded by destroying three rocket launch platforms used by the Houthis, while the Houthis have warned aviation companies to avoid using Saudi airspace.

The attack on Riyadh airport was carried out with ballistic missiles, according to the Houthi military spokesperson, who claimed that the missile successfully hit its intended target. Dozens of people were wounded in the missile attacks on Riyadh airport.
