A Houthi spokesman has claimed a “precise” strike on the King Khalid International airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
– In a statement on X, Yahya Saree said Houthi forces launched a ballistic missile attack on the airport. He also claimed several drone attacks on crude oil pumping stations in the east and west of the country.
– The statement came hours after Saudi forces announced intercepting and destroying a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis towards Riyadh. The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said it retaliated with attacks on two missile launches in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
– The Houthis also claimed attacks on the King Khalid International airport on Sunday, as well as on the King Khalid airbase in Khamis Mushait and a naval base in Jazan. The Houthis had accused the Saudi-led coalition of carrying out at least 56 air strikes on Yemen in the previous 24 hours, including in the provinces of Hodeidah, Lahij, Amran, Saada, al-Jawf, Taiz, and Ibb.
