King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, will resume limited operations on Sunday after flights were suspended following attacks.

The airport has designated Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for international flights operated by Saudi national carriers.

Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation temporarily suspended airport operations after attacks caused multiple deaths and injuries. An attack on October 10 killed 13 people and injured more than 300, according to reports.

The Houthis have recently intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia as Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces launched military operations to retake areas held by the group. The Houthis have also warned people against using the Riyadh airport.
