Dozens Reported Injured in Suspected Houthi Missile Attack on Riyadh Airport
Witnesses described an explosion and panic at Saudi Arabia's main international hub, following earlier claims of attacks by Yemeni rebels.
Dozens of individuals have reportedly sustained injuries following a suspected missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The incident, which has not been officially confirmed by Saudi authorities, prompted accounts of panic within the terminal from witnesses.
Eyewitnesses at the airport described hearing a loud explosion while awaiting flights, with some reporting seeing a strike that resulted in people being wounded. The disruption led to a sense of alarm among those present at the major international aviation hub.
The alleged assault comes just a day after the Houthi rebel movement in Yemen claimed responsibility for two separate deadly attacks targeting the same Riyadh airport. These recent events underscore the ongoing regional tensions and the persistent threat of cross-border hostilities.
Saudi authorities have maintained silence regarding the latest reported strike, offering no immediate confirmation of the attack or any subsequent evacuation measures. The lack of official statements leaves details surrounding the incident unverified from the Saudi perspective.
The Houthi movement's claims of responsibility for the airport attack emerge amidst a broader conflict in Yemen, where government-allied forces have reportedly launched a successful offensive to retake control of the Bab al-Mandab strait. This strategic waterway is crucial for global shipping and represents a significant point of contention in the prolonged conflict.
