Saudi Arabia partially reopens Riyadh airport despite ongoing Houthi threats

Saudi Arabia partially reopened King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday, resuming operations at Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international routes. The decision follows recent attacks launched by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels from Yemen.

Despite Saudi air defense forces intercepting a new wave of incoming missiles and drones targeting the kingdom, Houthi officials warned that the airport remains a "military target" and vowed to continue their offensive. Saudi Arabia remains engaged in persistent cross-border conflicts with the Yemeni group, which routinely targets infrastructure across the country.
