Second Houthi Strike Hits Riyadh Airport, Killing at Least One

A second Houthi strike hit Riyadh airport, killing at least one and prompting warnings of further attacks, while Dammam airport was also hit.

A second missile strike by Yemen's Houthi rebels hit Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday, killing at least one person. The airport had been closed since a deadly attack the previous day, and the new strike came after the rebels warned that "worse is yet to come."

In addition to Riyadh, the rebels also targeted Dammam airport, further disrupting air travel in the kingdom. The attacks underscore the escalating threat to civilian infrastructure in the region as the conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia intensifies.

Authorities have not released details on the perpetrators' motives beyond the stated warning, and the extent of damage to airport facilities remains unclear.
