Sanaa airport hit by four strikes; blast reported at Riyadh airport

Houthi-affiliated media report four air strikes on Sanaa International Airport and three on communications networks in Al-Muhabsha, following Saudi-backed government forces' announcement of strikes across Houthi-held areas. A loud blast was heard at Riyadh Airport per Reuters eyewitnesses, but no official confirmation or attribution has been made. This marks an escalation in the Yemen conflict, with potential spillover into Saudi territory if the Riyadh blast is confirmed as an attack.

Houthi Missile Attacks on Riyadh Airport Escalate Saudi-Yemen Conflict

Houthi forces have conducted multiple missile attacks on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, resulting in at least three confirmed fatalities and multiple injuries. These attacks represent a significant escalation in Houthi long-range strike capabilities and a direct targeting of Saudi civilian infrastructure, prompting international travel advisories and pledges of a 'firm response' from the Saudi-led coalition. The full extent of damage and the precise munitions used in all attacks remain partially unconfirmed.
