Live: Saudi Arabia extends suspension of operations at Riyadh airport after deadly Houthi attacks
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported58m ago
Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority has extended the suspension of flight operations at Riyadh's international airport following a series of deadly missile and drone attacks launched by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels over the weekend. The official announcement regarding the extended airport closure did not specify a timeline for when normal operations would resume.
In the wake of the escalation, reports indicate that the kingdom is facing a shortage of interceptor missiles required to thwart the mounting aerial assaults. The security situation has also impacted Saudi leadership, with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly moving between heavily guarded, bunker-equipped palaces.
