King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has resumed limited operations, two weeks after a deadly Houthi missile attack forced its closure, even as the Saudi-led coalition launched military operations against the Iran-backed group in Yemen, destroying missile launchers, storage facilities and other military infrastructure.

The airport reopened Terminals 1 and 2 on Sunday (October 25), marking the first phase of restoring services following the October 10 attack that killed 13 people and injured more than 300.

Under the limited reopening, Terminal 1 has been designated for domestic flights, while Terminal 2 will handle international services operated by national carriers, the airport said in a statement.

Passengers with confirmed bookings have been advised to contact their respective airlines to verify flight schedules and booking status before travelling to the airport.

Despite the reopening announcement, flight-tracking data from Flightradar24 showed little traffic at the airport on Sunday, Reuters reported.

Coalition targets Houthi missile infrastructure

Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition announced a military operation against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen aimed at neutralising missile capabilities and preventing further attacks on Saudi territory.

Coalition spokesman Major General Turki Al-Malki said the operation targeted military infrastructure used by the Houthis to launch ballistic missiles and drones against civilian areas and facilities in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

According to a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the operation resulted in the destruction of five tunnels used to store ballistic missiles, four ballistic missile launchers and a missile storage facility.

The coalition also targeted Houthi supply routes connecting areas under the group's control, along with fortifications, personnel and military equipment positioned along front lines inside Yemen.

In a separate statement, Al-Malki confirmed that two ballistic missile launchers had been destroyed in Sanaa, including one that had been used to launch a missile towards Riyadh.

He said coalition operations would continue to dismantle the Houthis' ballistic missile network.

The coalition described its military action as an exercise of Saudi Arabia's right to self-defence in response to repeated attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.

It said further deterrent measures would be undertaken to protect the kingdom's citizens and residents, while maintaining that its operations were being conducted in accordance with international humanitarian law.

Two injured in fresh missile interceptions

The latest developments came as Saudi authorities reported fresh Houthi missile attacks targeting the southern part of the kingdom on Sunday.

The General Directorate of Civil Defence said debris from two intercepted ballistic missiles fell in Khamis Mushait and Ahad Rafidah governorates, injuring two people.

The injured were identified as a Saudi citizen and an Asian resident. Falling debris also damaged three residential buildings and seven vehicles.

Civil Defence teams responded to the incidents and implemented the necessary safety procedures, SPA reported.
