Saudi extends Riyadh airport suspension after Houthi missile strikes
The deadliest attack hit Saturday, killing 12 people and injuring more than 300, and Saudi says airspace is unsafe beyond Mecca and Medina.
Saudi Arabia said it is still facing drones and missile strikes following deadly attacks on Riyadh’s airport by Iran-backed Houthi militants, prompting several countries to issue travel warnings, according to CNBC as cited by FXStreet.
The Saudi aviation authority extended the suspension of airport operations after a wave of projectile attacks over the previous week. The deadliest incident occurred on Saturday, leaving 12 people dead and more than 300 injured, with an additional strike on Sunday killing one person and injuring nearly a dozen.
On Monday, Yemen’s Armed Forces warned airlines, employees, and passengers that no Saudi airspace or airports are safe except Mecca and Medina, and the Houthi said it targeted Riyadh airport with ballistic missiles on Monday, FXStreet reported.
