[Regnum] The Yemeni Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) shot down a Saudi Arabian Air Force Typhoon fighter jet over Saada Province in northwestern Yemen. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria announced this on October 14.

"Our armed forces struck a Saudi Typhoon military aircraft taking off from the Al-Taif airbase. It was attacked in the airspace of Saada Governorate by a surface-to-air missile," Saria clarified on Telegram.

He added that a direct hit on the fighter was recorded and the plane could crash.

Earlier, Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense reported that at least four people were injured when two missiles were intercepted over Riyadh. Falling debris also damaged 15 residential buildings. Prior to this, the anti-Houthi coalition reported intercepting four cruise missiles and two drones over Saudi Arabian territory.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria announced an attack by the Shiite military-political movement Ansar Allah on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation reported that a new attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed one person and injured several others. Damage to the airport is still being assessed.
