Houthi Attacks on Saudi Airports Kill Three, Injure Dozens Amid Yemen Conflict
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed ballistic missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha International Airport, killing three foreign nationals and injuring 36 others. Saudi authorities confirmed the casualties and reported intercepting missiles targeting Riyadh. The Saudi-led coalition retaliated with strikes on Houthi military sites in Yemen. The attacks have disrupted flights, prompted heightened security measures, and raised regional tensions amid ongoing conflict near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. India condemned the attacks and advised its nationals in Saudi Arabia to remain vigilant.
