Houthis

View all Houthis stories →

Channels reported that Yemen's Houthi rebels carried out two deadly strikes on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport in as many days. BBC NEWS and Sky News said the first strike, on Saturday, killed 13 people and injured more than 300. BBC NEWS and Sky News said a second attack, on Sunday, killed one person and injured 11. Sky News said the airport had been attacked four times in five days and that the latest strike followed two earlier attacks on the same location during the week. The Houthis claimed responsibility and warned airlines and passengers against using Saudi Arabian airports and airspace. BBC NEWS reported Saudi officials' figures for the casualties. The coverage described the Houthis as backed by Iran and said they are targeting Saudi Arabia over its support for Yemen's internationally recognised government. Sky News said the Houthis control about a third of Yemen but around three quarters of the population live in that area, and that they have been encircling Taiz and seeking to dominate the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. BBC NEWS reported analysis that the attacks were a defining moment for Saudi Arabia and a potential turning point for Gulf Cooperation Council relations, with pressure growing on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to respond. Sky News reported that US President Donald Trump said he was weighing whether to join retaliatory strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, and that Saudi Arabia's energy minister said the response must be strong. Sky News also reported that the Saudi-led coalition said it was dealing with drones and missiles heading towards the kingdom. Sky News said EU ministers would discuss the conflict on Monday, and that UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said he was appalled and stood in solidarity with those affected. Analysis across channels discussed the risk to trade through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and the Suez Canal, the effect on oil prices, and questions about how Saudi Arabia's defence spending has not prevented the attacks.
