Yemeni Houthis Intensify Strikes on Saudi Targets, Briefly Disrupting Riyadh Air Traffic
ZeroHedge ·
Yemen's Ansar Allah movement has escalated direct military operations against Saudi Arabia, launching a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones shortly after Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia activated the Mecca Defense Pact. Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed that King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was targeted, leading to a brief suspension of inbound and outbound flights according to Flightradar24 data, although tangible impact evidence remains absent. Additional strikes were directed at Abha airport, an air base in Khamis Mushait, and military installations in Najran and Asir near the Yemeni border. While Saudi authorities confirmed tracking and intercepting a ballistic missile north of Riyadh alongside another near Khamis Mushait, recent Wall Street Journal reports corroborate that at least two southern Saudi airports suffered structural damage from previous Houthi assaults. This aggressive campaign coincides with a Saudi-led counteroffensive along the Red Sea, heightening severe geopolitical risks for global energy markets.
