The attacks targeted two international airports in Saudi Arabia, in Abha and in the capital Riyadh. The death toll of three is reported by Saudi authorities and is consistent with reports from The Hindu, The Japan Times and the South China Morning Post.
Responsibility was claimed by Houthi rebels, who said they had struck both airports. According to The Hindu, however, the Saudi General Authority for Civil Aviation did not attribute the attacks to any party.
The South China Morning Post also reports that dozens of people were injured. The figure for those injured is not accompanied by a more precise count in the available information.
According to the South China Morning Post’s report, the sequence claimed by the Houthis allegedly included the launch of a ballistic missile toward King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
Regarding the response, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it had destroyed 82 military targets belonging to the Houthis, presenting the operation as retaliation. The statement, reported by The Japan Times, has not been independently verified in the available information.
The precise timeline remains partly uncertain: the reports refer to incidents that took place between Tuesday and Wednesday, but do not make it possible to establish with certainty the date of each attack.
