Airports in Saudi Arabia are on alert! Critical warning to passengers

In the statement made by the airport management, it was stated that passengers should check the status of their flights by contacting the airline companies directly before leaving for the airport.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA) announced that 4 people died and many people were injured in the Houthi attacks on King Khalid International Airport in the capital Riyadh between 6-8 October.

While the conflicts between government forces and the Houthis have increased recently in Yemen, the Iranian-backed Houthis are targeting Saudi Arabia with ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, claiming that they are being attacked.

Yemen is the scene of a civil war that started after the Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and some provinces in September 2014.

The Arab Coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Yemeni government, which is recognized by the international community, since March 2015.
