Houthi Missile Attacks on Riyadh Airport Kill Three, Prompt Coalition Response

Houthi forces conducted multiple missile attacks on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, resulting in three confirmed Saudi fatalities and multiple injuries. This marks a direct and significant escalation against Saudi civilian infrastructure, prompting a 'firm response' vow from the Saudi-led coalition and leading to US/EU travel advisories and airspace warnings. The full scope of the coalition's retaliation and the Houthis' sustained long-range strike capability remain key uncertainties.
