Riyadh's international airport is scheduled to reopen on Sunday following a two-week closure. The shutdown was triggered by repeated attacks directed at the facility by Yemen's Houthi movement.
The Houthis, identified as an Iran-backed Yemeni militia, launched several deadly attacks targeting Saudi Arabia's south and the capital's airport this month. Despite the upcoming reopening of the airport, the militia has issued threats to strike the facility again.
