Saudi Arabia has suspended air travel at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport indefinitely after Houthi attacks. Separately, a Houthi missile strike on a government camp in southern Yemen killed at least 20 soldiers, according to the Associated Press.
Saudi Arabia has announced an indefinite suspension of air travel at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh following ongoing Houthi attacks. The airport, one of the busiest in the country, has faced repeated closures due to missile and drone assaults linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement.
Authorities cite unresolved threats as the reason for the extended closure. As a result, scrutiny has increased on the potential for a broader closure of Saudi airspace. Observers are watching for statements from Saudi aviation authorities and any NOTAMs indicating a wider closure.
The violence is also intensifying inside Yemen. On Monday, Houthi militants attacked a military camp in southern Yemen used by government forces, according to the Associated Press. Citing Yemeni military officials, the AP said at least 20 soldiers were killed and at least two dozen were injured.
Per the AP, the Houthis launched three ballistic missiles at the al-Alam camp, where training had been conducted for police and security forces. The head of Yemen's ruling Presidential Leadership Council vowed a response, the AP said.
Fighting in Yemen has intensified in recent weeks, as Saudi-aligned coalition government forces push to retake Houthi-controlled territory. The violence has spilled over into Saudi Arabia, with the Houthis taking responsibility for attacks on infrastructure in the kingdom.
