Yemen's Houthis claim missile, drone attacks on Riyadh airport

Yemen's Houthi group said Wednesday it had launched three cruise missiles at King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh and a drone attack on an oil pumping station in western Saudi Arabia, claiming both operations had achieved their objectives.



In statements posted on social media platform X, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said the cruise missiles targeted the airport, while a separate drone struck Pumping Station No. 11 in the Yanbu area, a major oil hub on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast.
