> Yemen’s Houthi movement, Ansar Allah, said it struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with a ballistic missile, and spokesman Yahya Saria described the strike as precise. He warned airlines and passengers against flying to Saudi airports and said a Houthi drone also hit an airbase in Khamis Mushait. The Saudi-led coalition earlier said it had repelled a Houthi missile attack on Riyadh.
