Houthis claim additional missile attack on Saudi airport... “Any airspace target.”

Three people died in attacks on King Khalid and Abha airports on the 6th and 7th.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwak Min-seo = Yemeni Houthi rebels claimed to have additionally struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, with a ballistic missile on the 8th (local time).

According to the rebels' claim, they attacked the Saudi airport on the 6th and 7th, causing dozens of casualties, and then attacked the airport again.

Reuters reported that the Houthi rebels then warned that the entire Saudi airspace, excluding the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina, could be subject to military operations.

Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authorities previously announced that a total of three people were killed and 36 injured in attacks on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and Abha International Airport on the 6th and 7th.

The Aviation Authority did not mention the subject of the attack or the specific type of attack, but Houthi rebel spokesman Yahya Sari claimed that the rebels fired ballistic missiles and drones toward King Khalid International Airport.

On the 5th, Houthi rebels claimed to have attacked King Khalid International Airport, the Aramco oil refinery in the western coastal city of Rabigh, the southwestern Abha Airport and the nearby Hamas Mushait Air Base, and military facilities in the Asir, Nazir, and Jazan regions.

As the Yemeni government forces and the Saudi-led coalition declared Operation 'Dawn of Yemen' on the 4th and launched a large-scale offensive to recapture territory controlled by the Houthis, the Houthis also appear to be continuing a fierce counterattack.
