Three people were killed and dozens wounded in attacks on airports in Saudi Arabia as escalating fighting between Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces threatens regional aviation and key shipping routes.
Saudi civil aviation authorities said one person was killed and eight injured in an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. A separate strike on facilities at Abha airport killed two people and wounded 28. The attacks occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday, although officials did not specify the exact timing of each incident.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group targeted Riyadh’s King Khalid airport with several drones. The Saudi-led coalition also reported intercepting and destroying a Houthi ballistic missile north of Riyadh.
The violence extended into Yemen, where the Houthis attacked Aden International Airport with ballistic missiles and explosive drones on Wednesday. Yemen’s Transport Ministry said one missile landed near the runway shortly before a flight from Cairo was scheduled to arrive.
Fighting has intensified around the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, an increasingly important shipping corridor as the US-Iran conflict restricts trade through the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi-backed Yemeni forces, supported by coalition airstrikes, launched a counteroffensive this week to retake territory near Bab el-Mandeb and Mocha seized by the Houthis in September.
The renewed Yemen conflict has displaced more than 200,000 people, according to the International Organization for Migration. IOM Director General Amy Pope warned that civilians urgently need additional food and shelter assistance.
Saudi Arabia is also seeking international support against the Houthis. Turkey is providing mainly defensive and technical assistance, while Syria is considering potential military support. A US official said Riyadh had requested Syrian forces to help fight the Houthis.
The Houthis seized Yemen’s capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting Saudi Arabia to lead a military intervention the following year. Riyadh accuses Iran of supplying and supporting the group, allegations denied by both the Houthis and Tehran.
