Riyadh’s main airport was struck by a projectile on Tuesday, a day after the Houthi movement claimed that the airport in Yemen’s rebel‑held capital of Sanaa had been hit again and blamed Saudi Arabia for the attack.
The projectile hit the Saudi capital’s airport, but officials have not reported any casualties or significant damage. The incident came amid ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels, who control large parts of Yemen.
In a statement, the Houthis said the Sanaa airport had been struck again and accused Saudi forces of responsibility. The claim follows a series of exchanges in which each side has blamed the other for attacks on civilian infrastructure.
The Yemen conflict has seen the Houthi movement, an armed group linked to Iran, clash with a Saudi‑led coalition that has conducted airstrikes across the country since 2015. The latest incidents highlight the continued volatility in the region.
No further details have been released about the Riyadh strike, and authorities have not issued a statement on the incident’s aftermath.
