Font size

Saudi Arabia said on Friday that three people were killed including a pilot, in attacks on Riyadh’s international airport, after Yemen’s Houthis claimed a series of attacks targeting the facility.

The conflict between the Houthis and Yemen’s Saudi-backed government has widened, with the Iran-backed fighters repeatedly attacking Saudi targets since they began a lightning offensive just across the border.

While seizing large swathes of territory along the Red Sea coast in Yemen, the Houthis have also attacked Saudi transport hubs, oil facilities and other civilian targets in the world’s largest crude exporter.

The Saudi civil aviation authority said two attacks on Thursday on the Saudi capital’s airport and a Saudia Airlines plane there “resulted in the martyrdom of three citizens”.

Open Questions

  • What specific security measures will Saudi Arabia implement?
  • Will there be a military retaliation?
