Houthi movement

Yemeni government forces say they killed 1,150 Houthi fighters and destroyed weapons and vehicles in operations over the previous 24 hours. The report says fighting is continuing near the Bab el-Mandeb strait.

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was evacuated after a loud blast was heard, according to reports. Saudi authorities had not commented, and the airport advised passengers to check with their airlines.

Yemeni government forces said they were advancing against the Houthis near the Bab al-Mandab strait but had not secured control of the waterway. The Houthis said they repelled the assault and still controlled the strait.

The Houthis claimed they struck Riyadh airport with a ballistic missile. A commercial plane was reportedly damaged and caught fire, while Lufthansa and Air India suspended flights to Riyadh.

Saudi authorities said attacks on airports in Riyadh and Abha killed three people and wounded 36. The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed 82 military targets in retaliatory strikes against Houthi forces in Yemen.

Saudi Arabia said attacks damaged airports in Najran and Jizan and lightly injured three people. The report also covered fighting in Yemen, an incident involving a tanker, Israeli strikes in Gaza and demolitions in east Jerusalem.

Rashad al-Alimi announced military operations to retake territory held by the Houthis and restore state authority across Yemen. Government forces and a Saudi-led coalition also reported hundreds of operations and at least 700 Houthi deaths.
