RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA—A video circulating on social media shows the moment a missile launched by the Houthis struck the facilities of King Khalid International Airport, located in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.
The images have generated attention due to the strategic
importance of this air terminal, one of the country's main airports and a key
hub for passenger transport and international air operations.
The attack is attributed to the Houthis, an armed movement
in Yemen that has carried out clashes and attacks against targets in Saudi
Arabia and other parts of the region.
An incident of this nature could have repercussions for
airport security and air operations, although details about the exact location
of the impact, material damage, and possible casualties are needed.
It is hoped that Saudi authorities or independent sources
will provide information to clarify what happened and determine if the airport
suffered damage or operational disruptions.
