Houthis Claim Drone, Missile Strikes on Abha Airport, Khamis Mushait

A Houthi spokesperson claimed that a drone hit Abha airport on November 3, according to statements described in the source material from House of Saud. The report does not specify the exact time of the drone strike, the type of drone, resulting damage, or any casualties. The only concrete detail provided is that the claim attributed to Houthi spokesperson Saree was reported in the supplied material.

Shafaq News corroborates the Houthis’ claims by stating that attacks against Saudi targets included Abha International Airport, described as a drone strike. Shafaq reports that the Houthis also targeted Khamis Mushait Air Base with a ballistic missile. The piece characterizes these as separate attacks against different Saudi sites and notes no details on damage, casualties, or the specific aircraft involved.

Macau Business notes the Houthis asserted an attack aimed at Riyadh’s airport complex, indicating the target as the airport in the Saudi capital. The outlet frames this as breaking news and references a civil-defense warning that preceded the assertion, but provides no timing, weapon type, casualty figures, or confirmed extent of damage.

Shafaq News additionally reports, within their coverage, that the Houthis claimed a ballistic missile strike targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, asserting that the strike directly hit the airport with significant damage. The report identifies the Houthis (Ansarallah) as responsible but again offers no timing, casualty figures, or independent verification of the damage extent.

House of Saud compiles related claims and notes that a drone hit Abha airport on November 3 and that a ballistic missile struck Khamis Mushait Air Base two hours later, attributed to remarks from Houthi spokesperson Saree. The included material provides no further specifics about the Riyadh attack, including timing, casualties, or outcomes, beyond the Abha and Khamis Mushait claims.

Gulf News provides contextual background by reporting casualties linked to a prior Houthi attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport. Specifically, an Indian national who had been critically injured in the October 10 attack died in hospital, according to the Indian Embassy in Riyadh. The report notes ongoing toll assessments, international reactions, airline suspensions, and consular support activities, but does not add new operational details about the November Riyadh strike claimed in the material.
