King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Yemen’s Houthi movement said it struck Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport with a ballistic missile. The Guardian reported that Reuters-briefed sources said a Saudia aircraft parked at a terminal was heavily damaged and caught fire, while witnesses reported explosions, emergency crews and halted outbound flights. Saudi authorities had not commented on the Houthi claim.

Why it matters

A disruption at Saudi Arabia’s main capital airport can halt commercial air traffic and marks a further Houthi strike claim against Saudi infrastructure.
