Riyadh Airport Attacked Again Following Deadly Strike

#world #brief

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh faced a new attack one day after a strike killed 12 people. While the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a cruise missile on Sunday, civil aviation authorities confirmed subsequent injuries from another strike. Iran-backed Houthi rebels have also claimed responsibility for attacks on Dammam airport and Aramco facilities, though Saudi officials have not confirmed these reports.

The violence follows an escalation in hostilities after Saturday’s deadly airport strike. In response, airstrikes targeted Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport on Sunday, with Houthis blaming the Saudi-led coalition. The Houthis have issued fresh threats regarding Saudi airspace amid the ongoing conflict.
