Riyadh Airport Evacuated After New Attack Halts Air Traffic

Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport was attacked again on Saturday, prompting an evacuation and a halt to air traffic, according to two regional officials. This follows a deadly attack two days prior that killed three Saudi citizens, including a pilot. The officials, speaking anonymously, confirmed the evacuation and the suspension of flights, though no immediate claim of responsibility was made. The Houthi rebels, who have claimed previous attacks on the airport this week, have not yet commented on Saturday's incident. A resident reported hearing at least two loud explosions. The renewed assault comes amid an escalating conflict, with a Saudi-led coalition conducting a major offensive against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The airport has been targeted repeatedly in the past week, including a Wednesday attack that killed a Sudanese national and wounded eight others.
