Riyadh airport struck by second missile as Houthi warnings escalate

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has been hit by a second projectile in two days, causing a fire in a passenger terminal and further disrupting air travel, according to Saudi authorities. Flight operations at the facility remain suspended after initial attacks left at least 12 people dead and over 300 injured, though conflicting reports cite lower casualty figures across regional airport strikes.

Following the assault, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree warned international airlines and passengers to avoid Saudi airports, declaring that non-holy airspace and facilities "constitute a theatre of operations." US President Donald Trump characterized the Riyadh attack as "not acceptable," while the Saudi-led coalition responded by launching airstrikes against more than 80 Houthi targets in Yemen.
