Houthi rebels struck Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing 14 people and causing 99.7% of scheduled flights to be cancelled. The attacks, which followed a previous strike that killed 13, have disrupted civil aviation across the kingdom.
The attacks came a day after a Houthi missile strike killed 13 people and injured over 300, with Saudi authorities confirming a second strike that killed one and injured 11. The Houthis claimed responsibility for both attacks, warning of further threats against Saudi airports.
The strikes have led to the closure of Riyadh's airport and the suspension of flights across Europe and Asia. The Saudi government has extended the closure and moved schools online, while the US has not yet joined the military campaign against the Houthis.
The Houthis claimed a Saudi airstrike in Sana’a killed a child and injured six, but Saudi authorities did not confirm the attack. The group warned of further attacks if Saudi military action in Yemen continued, raising concerns about regional instability.
