Saudi Arabia has reopened its main international airport to commercial flights, ending a closure that lasted more than two weeks following a series of strikes by Yemen-based Houthi rebels. The resumption of operations comes as the kingdom continues to face persistent aerial threats from the group, which is backed by Iran.
On Sunday, Saudi authorities reported the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile targeting the capital, Riyadh. The incident occurred as the airport was preparing to resume service, highlighting the ongoing security challenges faced by the Saudi-led military coalition in the region.
