A Saudi minister has vowed a “serious response” after Houthi attacks struck Riyadh’s international airport and another facility, killing 13 people in what has been described as a significant escalation.
The attacks targeted Saudi aviation facilities, including the international airport in the capital, Riyadh. A second facility was also hit, although no further details about its location or the damage caused were provided.
The fatalities mark a major development in the latest confrontation involving the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi minister did not specify what form the promised response would take.
The latest known position is that Saudi authorities are considering a serious response following the attacks, while the reported death toll stands at 13.
