On Thursday, Yemen's Houthi movement carried out a reported attack targeting the international airport in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh. Witnesses reported hearing several explosions, including a large blast at the facility, which left at least one plane severely damaged.

The incident follows a previous attack the day prior that Saudi authorities stated killed one person and wounded others. The latest assault marks the third time Houthis have claimed to target the Riyadh airport, occurring just hours after the Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting missiles fired in an earlier operation.
