Yemen’s Houthis have said that they struck the Saudi capital’s main international airport with a ballistic missile, in another attack on the kingdom claimed by the group, AFP reports.
The claim came a day after the anti-government fighters said they launched a series of attacks in Saudi Arabia that killed three people, and after the Riyadh-backed Yemeni government announced a major counter-offensive against the Houthis.
“Our armed forces successfully targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with a ballistic missile, which accurately struck its target and disrupted airport operations,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on X.
This marks the third time this week that the group has claimed responsibility for an attack on the airport.
“We reiterate our call and warning – for the last time – to all international airlines against continuing to operate flights through Saudi airspace,” Saree added.
