Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked two Saudi airports on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing three people and injuring 36. They used ballistic missiles and drones in both strikes. At King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, one Sudanese man died and eight people were hurt. At Abha Airport, two women were killed, one Moroccan and one Algerian, and 28 others were injured. Both airports had to stop normal operations after the attacks. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility on social media. The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed the missile launcher used in the Riyadh attack and then struck more than 80 Houthi military targets in Yemen. This was the third time in one week that the Houthis claimed to have hit Riyadh airport.
