Saudi airports face renewed attacks as Houthi rebels strike again, with 13 dead in latest assault. The Houthi group claimed responsibility for the attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, which came a day after a deadly strike. The Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting multiple missiles and drones heading towards the kingdom.
The Houthi group has warned travelers and airline workers to stay away from Saudi airports after the attacks. The Saudi authorities have extended the airport closure in Riyadh and are investigating an air defense failure that allowed the missiles to reach the airport. The Houthi group also claimed responsibility for attacks on other airports and facilities in Saudi Arabia.
The attacks have exposed vulnerabilities in Saudi defense capabilities as the kingdom wages an air campaign against the Houthis. The Houthi group has warned that worse is yet to come unless Saudi Arabia stops its aggression in Yemen. The Houthi group has also called for diplomatic mediation between Saudi Arabia and Yemen through Iran.
