Saudi Arabia reported that two terminals at its primary airport reopened on Sunday, despite threats from Yemen’s Iran -aligned Houthis to continue targeting the hub, which they branded a "military target".
Operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh were suspended on October 10 after a Houthi-claimed assault left 13 people dead, marking the kingdom’s deadliest attack in over a decade.
Riyadh stated that it intercepted another barrage of drones and missiles on Sunday as hostilities with the militant group continued unabated.
Houthi forces claimed responsibility for targeting the aviation hub along with additional locations across the kingdom, including Jazan and Khamis Mushait.
It remains unconfirmed whether these actions corresponded to the strikes Saudi Arabia claimed to have blocked.
This conflict has become an increasingly destabilizing element in the US-Israeli offensive against Iran, turning American ally Saudi Arabia into a pressure point in the wider war.
