Attacks on two Saudi airports killed three and injured dozens, per the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority. The nature of the attacks and perpetrators are unconfirmed, but the incident marks a significant escalation in threats to Saudi infrastructure. This could impact regional security and aviation operations.
Houthi forces have significantly escalated cross-border attacks, targeting multiple Saudi international airports, including King Khalid International in Riyadh, resulting in three confirmed deaths and 36 injuries. The Saudi-led coalition has responded with extensive airstrikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen. This marks a notable expansion of the conflict's geographic scope and intensity.
