Houthi rebels targeted Riyadh's international airport in Saudi Arabia on Thursday, in a new escalation of hostilities between the Yemeni movement and the Riyadh-led military coalition.
The attack comes a day after Houthi strikes that had killed at least three people in Saudi Arabia, according to local authorities.
Saudi Retaliation
In response, the Saudi-led military coalition said it had destroyed 82 "legitimate military targets" belonging to Houthi fighters in Yemen, stating that these attacks would not go "unpunished."
The conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, which has lasted for several years, continues to cause mass displacement of people: more than 200,000 people have been displaced by the hostilities, according to the figures cited.
The humanitarian situation in Yemen remains precarious, with millions of people affected by the fighting and the economic disruptions linked to the conflict, as both sides continue trading strikes.
