Yemen’s Houthi fighters claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on two Saudi international airports, authorities said, resulting in three deaths and 36 injuries.
The incidents were reported by Saudi officials, who confirmed that the attacks caused significant damage to airport infrastructure and disrupted flight operations. No further details about the specific airports or the method of the attacks were released at this time.
Houthi fighters, a rebel group based in Yemen, have previously targeted Saudi infrastructure in a broader conflict that has drawn international attention. The group’s claim of responsibility underscores the ongoing security challenges in the region.
Saudi authorities are investigating the incidents and have urged passengers to remain vigilant while airlines and airport staff work to restore normal services. The government has not yet announced any additional measures or retaliatory actions.
The attacks come amid heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, with international observers monitoring the situation closely. No further information has been provided by either side regarding the motives or the perpetrators beyond the Houthi claim.
