Saudi Arabia confirmed that Houthi strikes on two of its international airports killed 3 people and injured at least 36, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday, 16 Mehr 1405 (8 October). Fighting between the Houthis and Yemen's internationally recognised, Saudi-backed government has displaced more than 200,000 people.

According to Donya-e-Eqtesad, the military spokesman of Yemen's Ansar Allah claimed the same day that a ballistic missile hit King Khalid Airport in Riyadh and disrupted its operations; that claim was not independently confirmed in the Al Jazeera report. Earlier, on 11 Mehr (3 October), the Houthis had claimed an attack on Aramco facilities in Riyadh.
