Houthis claim attack targeting Riyadh airport with ballistic missile

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis claim an attack targeting Riyadh’s international airport, after a Saudi-led coalition said it had shot down a missile over the capital.

“Our armed forces were able to target [King] Khalid International Airport in the Saudi enemy’s capital Riyadh this evening with a ballistic missile and the hit was precise,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says. He adds that the group also targeted the Khamis Mushait base in the kingdom’s south with a drone.
