Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Saree says a ballistic missile struck King Khalid Airport, disrupting operations, as Ansar Allah warns airlines.
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with a ballistic missile, saying the missile struck its target accurately and disrupted airport operations.
In a statement, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the Yemeni Armed Forces were renewing their warning to international airlines against continuing to operate flights through Saudi airspace.
Saree said Saudi airspace had become a theater for Yemeni military operations, with the exception of the airspace over the holy areas of Mecca and Medina.
Saudi military gatherings targeted
Saree also announced that the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted gatherings and military reinforcements belonging to Saudi forces at the Qa'wa camp in the Ras al-Ara area with ballistic missiles.
He said the attacks achieved direct hits, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries and causing some weapons depots to catch fire.
The Yemeni Armed Forces also carried out simultaneous strikes targeting Saudi military gatherings south of Bab al-Mandab, as well as in the Al-Saqiya and Ras al-Ara areas.

He said the aircraft was downed while conducting hostile operations over Taiz.
