- Houthis resume attacks on Saudi airports and oil facilities
The Houthis in Yemen said they launched 7 ballistic missile and drone attacks on airports, air bases and oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid airport in Riyadh, the Rabigh refinery and Saudi Aramco sites. According to spokesman Yahya Saree, the attacks respond to Saudi operations in Yemen, where a Riyadh-led coalition carried out 100 airstrikes in 24 hours, and the group will continue until military operations end and restrictions on travel and cargo into Yemen are lifted. The attack came as Riyadh's main aviation hub prepared to partially reopen from October 25 after more than two weeks of disruption, and the Houthis warned airlines and passengers against using it.
