Saudi Arabia Reopens Riyadh Airport Terminals After Two-Week Suspension

Saudi Arabia has reopened both terminals of King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh for domestic and international flights from today. The operations were suspended for more than two weeks following deadly strikes by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.


Earlier today, Saudi military spokesperson Colonel Turki bin Saleh al-Maliki said air defences had intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched towards Riyadh before it could reach its target.


Meanwhile, Indian airline operator IndiGo has announced that its flights to and from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah will remain canceled until the 31st of this month in view of the evolving security situation.


In the occupied West Bank, Israel continued a major military operation following a Hamas attack in Hebron on Friday that killed two Israeli soldiers and injured three others.
