Houthis claim strike on Riyadh airport

Yemen’s Houthis say they struck Riyadh International Airport, an Aramco refinery and several sites in southern Saudi Arabia. The claim comes amid the regional war, L’Essentiel reports.

Yemen’s Houthis claimed on Monday to have struck Riyadh International Airport, as well as a refinery belonging to Saudi oil group Aramco and several sites in southern Saudi Arabia, L’Essentiel reports.

The claim comes amid tensions between Iran, the United States and Israel. A memorandum of understanding signed on 17 June between Tehran and Washington was supposed to end the conflict triggered on 28 February by US-Israeli strikes in Iran, but US President Donald Trump has since repeatedly said that the ceasefire is over, according to L’Essentiel.
