The coalition also said Saudi air defences had intercepted a cruise missile in the vicinity of King Khalid International Airport.

The airport remains closed after an attack there on Saturday killed 12 people and wounded more than ​300 others, the deadliest such strike on the kingdom in over a decade, amid an escalation of fighting between the Houthis and Yemeni government forces.

Despite ​the airport's temporary closure, the Saudi Energy Ministry said a long-planned international energy conference was still going ahead ⁠in Riyadh on Sunday.

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said Sunday's projectile had targeted Terminal 4 of the airport, without elaborating.

Earlier, the Houthis had said in ​a statement on X: "We renew our warning to all airlines, experts, employees, workers and travellers against using Saudi airports and airspace, as they are vulnerable ​to attack and have become a theatre of operations for our forces, with the exception of the airports in (the holy cities of) Mecca and Medina."

Saudi Arabia has stepped up its military involvement in Yemen ​in recent weeks, launching strikes against the Houthis and backing a Yemeni government counteroffensive after the group seized strategic territory along the Red Sea ​coast last month.

Yemen's Houthi-run foreign ministry said later on Sunday that further Saudi military action in Yemen would trigger a stronger response, adding that its actions would be ‌guided by ⁠the principle of reciprocity.
