A Houthi missile strike hit a Saudi Arabian airport, killing 12 people and injuring 309 others, according to the General Authority of Civil Aviation. The attack occurred in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi authorities confirmed the casualties in a statement.
The strike targeted the King Khalid International Airport. The attack was claimed by the Houthi group, which is based in Yemen. The Houthi rebels have been engaged in a conflict with Saudi Arabia and its allies since 2015. The attack comes amid ongoing tensions between the two sides.
This is the latest in a series of attacks between the Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia. The Houthi group has previously launched attacks on Saudi oil facilities and airports. Saudi Arabia has responded with airstrikes in Yemen. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
The attack has drawn international condemnation. Kuwait criticized the strike as a "cowardly attack." The United States has also expressed concern over the escalating violence. The situation remains volatile as both sides continue their military actions.
