Cruise and ballistic missiles intercepted and destroyed in Riyadh and Kharj

The "Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen" announced yesterday (Sunday) the interception and destruction of a cruise missile near King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and the fall of an unknown projectile in Passenger Terminal No. 4 at the airport resulting in a fire. This occurred hours after the interception and destruction of another ballistic missile in Al-Kharj Governorate and a drone in the Eastern Province. The General Authority of Civil Aviation also announced that King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was subjected to an attack last night. This came following terrorist attacks launched by Houthi militias on civilian and vital facilities in Saudi Arabia, which resulted in the death of 12 people and injury of 309 others due to the fall of a projectile in the passenger terminal at Riyadh Airport.

Arab, Islamic, and Western countries expressed their condemnation and denunciation of the attacks. The countries of the "Quadrilateral Group" (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey) condemned in the strongest terms the ongoing hostile Houthi attacks, including "the sinful attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh."

They emphasized full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and support for all legitimate measures and steps taken to confront the attacks and prevent their recurrence, defending the Kingdom's security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity in accordance with the UN Charter and international law.

The "Dawn of Yemen" operation entered its seventh day yesterday, with the scope of strikes targeting Houthi group sites expanding concurrently with ground operations. Estimates indicate that the group's losses rose to approximately 12,000 killed and wounded during the first six days of the operation.
