First Houthi aerial threat hits Riyadh as Yemen conflict intensifies

Multiple aerial attacks, attributed to Houthi forces, struck the Riyadh airport area, resulting in a confirmed Aramco fuel tank fire and flight disruptions. Saudi authorities issued air raid alerts for Riyadh, Jeddah, and Yanbu, indicating a broader threat, with Houthis claiming missile and drone attacks on Riyadh and Saudi oil facilities. The extent of damage beyond the fuel tank and the specific weapons used remain partially unconfirmed, but the direct targeting of the capital's airport and energy infrastructure marks a significant escalation.
