Shafaq News..Houthis: Missile caused significant damage to Riyadh airport

A new report from Shafaq News states that Yemen’s Houthi movement fired a ballistic missile targeting Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the claim that the strike directly hit King Khalid International Airport and caused significant damage. The report identifies the Houthis (Ansarallah) as the responsible party, based on the source material provided, but does not supply timing, casualty figures, or a precise assessment of the damage beyond the described impact at the airport.

Macau Business mirrors the Houthi claim, noting that the group asserted an attack against Riyadh’s airport complex and described the target as the airport in the Saudi capital. The outlet characterizes the report as breaking news and references a civil defense warning that preceded the assertion, but it provides no further details on weapon type, timing, casualties, or the extent of damage.

NewsCord carries the Yemeni Armed Forces’ claim that a strike on King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh occurred, described as a ballistic-missile operation. Brigadier General Yahya Saree is cited as the spokesman presenting the attack as direct and focused on the Riyadh airport. The piece identifies the target and the nature of the attack but offers no timing, casualty figures, or confirmed outcomes beyond the claim.

House of Saud compiles related statements and mentions that separate claims surface: a drone hit Abha airport on November 3, followed by a ballistic missile striking Khamis Mushait Air Base two hours later, attributed to remarks from Houthi spokesman Saree. The excerpt does not provide additional specifics about the Riyadh attack itself, such as timing, casualties, or outcomes.

Gulf News adds context by reporting on casualties linked to a prior Houthi assault on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport. An Indian national who was critically injured in the October 10 attack died in hospital, according to the Indian Embassy in Riyadh. The piece notes ongoing toll assessments, international reactions, airline suspensions, and consular support activities, but does not provide new operational details about the November Riyadh strike claimed in the material.

The compiled material from NewsCord reinforces the Yemeni Armed Forces’ claim of a strike on King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh, describing the operation as ballistic-m missile directed at the Riyadh airport. The report emphasizes the spokesman’s description of the attack as direct and the target identification, while offering no timing, casualty, or consequence details beyond the claim. The material also reiterates that the location affected is King Khaled International Airport and does not include information on injuries, aircraft involvement, or subsequent developments.
