The South China Morning Post reported that Saudi Arabia stated on Friday that three people, one of whom was a pilot, died following attacks on Riyadh's international airport, which the Houthis in Yemen claimed were responsible for the assaults.
The fighting between the Houthis and the government of Yemen, which is supported by Saudi Arabia, has escalated, with the Iran-backed fighters continuing to strike Saudi objectives since initiating a rapid offensive near the border.
In addition to capturing significant areas along the Red Sea coast in Yemen, the Houthis have also targeted Saudi civilian targets, oil facilities, and transport hubs within the world's largest crude exporter.
The Saudi civil aviation authority indicated that two incidents on Thursday at the airport in the Saudi capital and a Saudia Airlines aircraft there led to the deaths of three citizens.
