Saudi warns Houthi attacks on airports will not go unpunished
- Aviation regulator says 3 killed
- Brent crude up 2 percent to $102
- Tanker struck north of Qatar
Fighting between Saudi Arabia and Yemeni Houthis intensified as Riyadh warned that attacks against civilians and civil infrastructure will not go without repercussions.
Houthi attacks on Abha Airport and King Khalid International Airport on October 6 and 7 killed three civilians and injured 36, the Saudi aviation regulator said in a social media post.
Major General Turki Al-Malki, a spokesman for the Yemeni government forces, said the attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure “will not go unpunished”, the state-run SPA news agency reported.
The coalition has destroyed 82 military targets in Yemen, including 11 mountain-based ballistic missile storage facilities in Saada and Houthi headquarters, he said.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree in a post on Thursday issued a “last warning” to global airlines to stop operating flights in Saudi airspace, except for Mecca and Medina.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported that a tanker was struck by multiple projectiles north of Qatar’s Madinat ash Shamal, with casualties.

Rising regional tensions pushed oil prices higher on Thursday morning. Brent crude futures rose more than 2 percent to $102.3 a barrel by 03:00 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained 1.74 percent to $89.82.
US Central Command said that commercial goods and energy supplies are flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, including 20 million barrels of crude oil.
“The United States and regional partners clearly control the strait,” Central Command said in a social media post refuting Iran’s claim that the strait was closed.
US President Donald Trump said a deal with Iran “isn’t really something that I want to do”, but claimed that Steve Witkoff, his special envoy to the Middle East, is working on a potential agreement with Iran and is “doing very well”, CNBC reported.
The growing Yemeni conflict weighed on GCC stock exchanges on Wednesday.
Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index fell 0.5 percent. Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s exchanges closed 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent lower, respectively. Qatar and Bahrain declined. However, Oman and Kuwait ended higher.
