Suryaa Now International Desk: Yemen's Houthi rebels target Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport... Yemen's Houthi rebels have once again issued dire warnings targeting Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport. A Houthi military spokesman clarified that airlines, airport staff and passengers should not use Saudi airports in the wake of the recent deadly attacks. A clear statement came out that Riyadh Airport is still on their list of military targets and attacks on the area will continue. The recent missile and drone strikes that have resulted in heavy casualties have reignited tensions in the Middle East.
Thirteen people lost their lives and more than three hundred were seriously injured in a massive attack on Riyadh airport on October 10th. Experts are analyzing it as the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in a decade. Due to these catastrophic developments, airport operations have come to a complete standstill. However, it is noteworthy that these latest warnings from the Houthis came out at the same time as the airport authorities announced that domestic flights through terminal one and international flights through terminal two will be resumed from Sunday. Amid the deteriorating security situation in the Middle East, the Houthis have intensified their attacks on Saudi Arabia.
Not only airports but also important oil storage centers and fuel refineries are becoming targets of these attacks. On the other hand, Saudi-led coalition forces have also intensified their military operations in Yemeni territory. The escalating clashes between the two factions are having a serious impact on the global oil supply and civil aviation security. The international community is watching these developments with great concern.
