Middle East3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported16m ago
Saudi Arabia has reopened its main international airport in Riyadh following a two-week closure caused by strikes attributed to Houthi rebels. The reopening occurred on Sunday, the same day Saudi authorities reported the successful interception and destruction of a ballistic missile and a drone targeting the kingdom.
The facility had been out of service since a previous attack, which sources indicate resulted in 13 fatalities and over 300 injuries. The resumption of operations coincides with ongoing security challenges as Houthi forces continue to conduct strikes against the Saudi capital.
