King Khalid International Airport suspended operations on 8 October following further attacks claimed by Yemen's Huti against Saudi Arabia. In response, Riyadh attacked command centres, missile and weapons systems and deposits in different cities. The attacks rekindle the fears of a further escalation of the regional conflict.
The Yemeni Government seeks to reconquer the lost territories at the hands of the Huti rebels. With further advances by the official troops and attacks by the rebels, the war is intensifying. This October 8, the Hutti claimed an attack on Saudi Arabia, which supports the Yemeni Government, in which one of three missiles would have hit King Khalid International Airport. Meanwhile, many citizens continue to leave their homes, being forced to leave everything behind.
