According to a statement from the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), Houthi-claimed strikes on two airports in Saudi Arabia have resulted in three civilian deaths and 36 injuries.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, two distinct attacks were launched on Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
Two Moroccan and Algerian women were killed and 28 others were injured in the attack on Abha International Airport, according to GACA.
A Sudanese national was killed and eight locals, including five Saudi nationals, were hurt in the incident on King Khalid International Airport in the capital city of Riyadh.
In order to evaluate the damage and take all required steps to guaranty the security of both passengers and employees, GACA stated that it is operating "in full integration and continuous coordination with the relevant security authorities."
Major-General Turki al-Maliki, the spokesperson for the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, stated that forces destroyed a platform in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, that had been used to launch assaults on the Saudi capital and intercepted a ballistic missile north of Riyadh.
Attacks on Saudi airports in the past
This week, the Saudi state-run Aramco oil corporation installed new walls that resemble cages around its fuel tanks and other equipment close to the Riyadh airport.
A purported Houthi ballistic missile fired from Yemen targeting the airport in Riyadh was intercepted and destroyed, according to Saudi-led coalition troops on September 18.
A day later, on September 19, a massive plume of black smoke was spotted rising from a fuel storage area at King Khalid International Airport, and at least one explosion was heard close to the airport in Riyadh.
Saudi-backed Yemeni forces from the nation's internationally recognized government are engaged in intensifying fighting with Houthi forces affiliated with Iran, who have taken control of a large area of land near the vital Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which links the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
