Riyad’s main airport reopens after Houthi missile hits

Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport has reopened for domestic and international flights after a two-week closure caused by missile and drone impacts, according to the airport.

Two of the airport’s five terminals have resumed service, with further operations expected to return as conditions allow, per reporting cited by Bloomberg.

The Saudi-led coalition noted ongoing attacks, with several missiles intercepted over Riyadh and other areas on Sunday, as stated by Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki through the Saudi Press Agency.

The coalition described ongoing threats including a ballistic missile fired at Riyadh, a cruise missile directed at the southern city of Khamis Mushait, and 10 ballistic missiles aimed at the southern region, according to the same brief.

Previously, on Oct. 10, a Houthi attack on Riyadh’s main airport resulted in 13 deaths and 308 injuries, leading to the airport’s total shutdown, a detail cited in the context of the continued security situation.
