Houthi Missile Attacks on Riyadh Airport and Saudi Infrastructure Escalate

Houthi forces have significantly escalated missile and drone attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, causing temporary closures and substantial flight disruptions. While Saudi air defenses have intercepted multiple projectiles, the explicit designation of the airport as a military target and continued threats indicate a persistent and evolving security risk to Saudi aviation and critical infrastructure. The extent of damage from all claimed attacks remains partially unconfirmed.
