“Yemen’s Sanaa and Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh airports were attacked”… Saudi-Houthi ‘smash battle’

(Cairo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kim Sang-hoon = The armed battle between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's pro-Iranian rebels Houthi is heading towards an endless 'bloody battle of revenge.'

Houthi rebels claimed that the Yemeni capital Sanaa airport, which they control, was attacked by air, and in the Saudi capital Riyadh, where King Khalid Airport was attacked, explosions rang out again in the downtown area.

Houthi rebels claimed on the 11th (local time) that Sanaa International Airport in the Yemeni capital, which they control, was attacked again by the Saudi coalition.

Al Masira TV, a media outlet run by the rebels, pointed to Saudi Arabia as the mastermind behind the attack without disclosing specific damage.

Immediately after the rebels' announcement, AFP reported that at least two powerful explosions of unknown origin rang out in the center of Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

Three residents living in northern Riyadh also reported hearing another binge.

A resident of the Al-Arid area, north of Riyadh, reported the situation to the news agency at the time, saying, "Right after the explosion, birds started running wild and the whole house shook."

In this regard, the Saudi Arabia-led coalition announced that an unidentified projectile hit Terminal 4 of Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport.

The coalition added that this attack caused a fire, and that the competent authorities deployed to the scene are directly extinguishing and controlling the fire.

The entire Riad was engulfed in extreme tension as King Khalid Airport was attacked again a day after the major disaster that killed 12 people and injured more than 300 the previous day.

The onslaught targeting the heart of both sides is intensifying out of control.

The Houthi rebels announced that Sanaa Airport had been attacked by air the previous day, and the Saudi-led coalition also pointed to the Houthi rebels as the mastermind behind the missile attack targeting King Khalid Airport.

However, the Houthi rebels have not explicitly claimed responsibility for the King Khalid Airport attack that killed 12 people.
