> Yahya Saria, military spokesman for Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, again called on airlines to cancel flights to Saudi Arabia, saying its airports and airspace were targets except for those in Mecca and Medina. He urged people to take the warning seriously and said Riyadh would be responsible if attempts to intercept missiles and drones failed. The call followed an attack on Riyadh airport that killed at least 12 and injured 309, halting operations.
