A projectile struck Riyadh's international airport, igniting a fire, following Houthi warnings to avoid Saudi airports.
The Saudi-led coalition reported that Riyadh's international airport was hit by an 'unidentified projectile' on Sunday, resulting in a fire. This attack occurred just a day after a strike attributed to the Iran-backed Houthis killed 12 people.
The Houthis had previously issued warnings to airlines and travelers to avoid Saudi airports, indicating escalating tensions in the region.
The conflict in Yemen has drawn in regional powers, with Saudi Arabia leading a coalition against the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. The situation has been marked by a series of retaliatory strikes and escalations, making it a focal point of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
The recent attacks underscore the increasing volatility in the Middle East, particularly with the ongoing conflict in Yemen. The targeting of civilian infrastructure such as airports raises significant concerns about the safety of air travel in the region.
