Three Saudi nationals were killed in a series of Houthi drone attacks on Riyadh airport on Monday. The attacks occurred at approximately 10:00 am local time when several drones carrying explosives targeted the airport, resulting in significant damage to infrastructure and loss of life.
The Saudi government has condemned the attacks as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. They have accused the Houthi rebels in Yemen of carrying out the attacks with support from external entities aiming to destabilize the region.
In response, the Houthi spokesperson stated that the attacks were a justified response to the ongoing Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen, which have resulted in civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction. The Houthis have been engaged in a protracted conflict with the Saudi-backed Yemeni government for several years, leading to a humanitarian crisis in the region.
The United Nations and various countries have called for an immediate ceasefire and peaceful resolution to the conflict to prevent further loss of life and escalation of hostilities in the region.
Despite international calls for peace, the situation remains tense, with both sides showing no signs of backing down from their positions. The attacks on Riyadh airport mark a significant escalation in the conflict, raising concerns about the wider implications for regional stability and security.
