Houthis Claim Saudi Airport Strikes, Warning 'Worst Is Yet to Come'

Houthi rebels in Yemen have officially claimed responsibility for a wave of strikes targeting airports across Saudi Arabia, warning that "the worst is yet to come," The Jerusalem Post reported. According to broadcaster NDTV, the death toll from the missile strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has risen to 14, following the emergence of video footage capturing the moment of impact.

In the wake of the threats and strikes, several international airlines suspended flights to Saudi airports, while foreign embassies, including India's, cautioned their citizens against utilizing Saudi airspace. The reports noted that the attacks underscored vulnerabilities in Saudi defense capabilities amid the kingdom's ongoing air campaign against the rebels in Yemen.
