Explosions were heard near King Khalid International Airport in northern Riyadh; the Houthi movement also claimed to have attacked Abha airport. The latter claim has not been confirmed by Saudi authorities.
Why it matters to readers

The distinction between “explosions were heard” and “an attack has been confirmed” should be maintained: the original report describes explosions, but the alleged attack on Abha airport remains a one-sided statement by the Houthi movement.

The material does not state whether there were casualties or damage to airport facilities.
The material does not state whether the relevant airports and flight operations have been affected.
