Houthis warn travelers and airlines to avoid Saudi airports after a deadly attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport killed 12 people and injured over 300. The attack comes amid escalating conflict between Houthi and Saudi-backed forces in Yemen.
The Houthis issued a warning to airlines, travelers, and airport workers to stay away from Saudi airports, stating they are vulnerable to attack and a theater of operations. Saudi authorities extended an airport closure and said schools in the capital would remain online until the end of the week.
Global leaders condemned the attack, with the UAE expressing solidarity with Saudi Arabia and UN officials calling for an end to attacks on civilian infrastructure. The conflict has intensified, with both sides escalating military actions and threatening further attacks.
The Houthi-run health ministry reported 91 Yemenis killed and 168 injured in five weeks of attacks, with 60% of victims being women and children. The conflict has disrupted critical trade routes and raised concerns about regional stability.
