Turkey condemns repeated Houthi strikes on Riyadh airport

The Houthis have carried out repeated attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

On Sunday, a projectile hit a passenger terminal, and air defenses intercepted a missile nearby.

The Civil Aviation Authority reported injuries from Sunday’s incident but did not say how many people were hurt.

A missile strike on Saturday killed 13 people and injured 309, according to updated figures that included an Indian national who later died of injuries.

Turkey condemned the attacks and said they targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure.

The strikes come amid renewed fighting in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia backs the internationally recognized government against the Houthis.

The Houthis claimed responsibility and warned airlines against using Saudi airports and airspace; Turkey called for the attacks to stop immediately.
