Houthis launch missile strike on two Saudi International Airports

Three people were injured in Saudi Arabia following attacks on airports, the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation reported, according to Interfax.

"On Monday evening, October 5, 2026, King Abdulaziz International Airport and Najran International Airport were targeted by strikes," the statement reads.

Three people sustained minor injuries.

The Authority, in coordination with other agencies, is assessing the damage and the measures required to ensure flight and passenger safety.

On October 5, the Houthis launched ballistic missiles and drones targeting King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, Abha Airport, and an Aramco oil refinery in Rabigh.

This autumn, representatives of the Ansar Allah movement (the Houthis) launched an offensive operation and captured the Yemeni coast of the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This major success has led to an escalation of the armed conflict with the Yemeni authorities and Saudi Arabia.
