Three people killed and 36 wounded in attacks on Saudi airports, including Riyadh, after Houthis claimed to have fired on both transport hubs, according to official statements.
Houthis reported firing missiles and explosives toward Aden airport, with an explosive hitting moments before a flight was due to land, forcing a diversion and prompting safety reviews. Saudi authorities initially denied the attacks but later confirmed three deaths and 36 injuries.
The conflict highlights ongoing tensions as Houthi forces make slow advances near Taiz, with observers noting a potential shift in military dynamics as Saudi-backed forces may be retreating to secure Aden.
Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi criticized media coverage and linked conflicts in the region, while Southern Giants forces continue efforts to recapture the Bab al-Mandab strait.
