[Regnum] The Shiite military-political movement Ansar Allah (Houthis), which rules northern Yemen, announced a new strike on King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. This was reported on October 12 by Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria.

"This evening, we launched a precision ballistic missile strike on King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of the Saudi Arabian enemy, accurately hitting its target," the Houthi armed forces said in a statement posted on their Telegram channel.

Earlier, the Saudi Arabian General Authority for 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.

A projectile of unknown origin hit Terminal 4 of Riyadh International Airport on October 11.

The number of casualties in the strike on Riyadh airport on October 10 has risen to 309. Twelve people were killed.

On October 5, the Houthis declared Saudi Arabian airspace, excluding the skies over Mecca and Medina, a military operation zone. The attack on the airport was carried out by the Houthis, stated Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi-led Arab coalition against the Houthis.

1 Houthis threaten 'swift and painful' attacks targeting US if Trump joins Saudi strikes

Houthi rebels threatened a "swift and painful" response against U.S. interests across the Middle East on Monday if President Donald Trump joins Saudi military strikes against the group, AFP reported.

"If the US becomes involved in the aggression against Yemen, we will not deliberate over the decision to respond, rather, there will be a swift and painful response targeting the US and all its interests in the region," Houthi political bureau member Mohammed Al Bukhaiti told the European news agency.

Bukhaiti also warned "all employees and workers at Saudi oil facilities and airports to stay away from these sites, as they have become legitimate targets".

The threats followed the group's deadly attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which killed at least 13 people and wounded hundreds more.

Trump condemned the Riyadh attack Monday, stating it was unacceptable.

"The Houthis are misbehaving very badly. They're misbehaving very badly. No good," the president told reporters at the White House.

A swift and painful response in the "this is gonna hurt us a lot more than it hurts you" sense?
