Houthis warn airlines against Riyadh airport, flights resume after attacks
Published 7 h ago10 sourcesEvidence: Reported
Riyadh's international airport resumed flights on Sunday after a two-week closure caused by Houthi missile and drone strikes on the Saudi capital, marking a significant disruption to Saudi air travel. The Iran-backed Houthis have warned of further attacks, signaling an escalation in the conflict following the breakdown of a years-long truce in the summer. The reopening suggests Saudi air defenses have contained the immediate threat, but the group's continued capability to strike deep into Saudi territory raises concerns about regional stability and energy infrastructure.
